Courthouse Square . Harrisonburg

Built in 1896 with native Bluestone.

While researching I found this interesting story from the book A History of Rockingham County, Va in Google Books. Click Here to read about "Court Days of Long Ago"

  5. Gorgeous building. So many of these old courthouses have been torn down - like here in Ocala. Which is a shame. There's a beauty still standing near us in Inverness, Florida, though.

  12. This is a familiar looking building that I have seen on trips around America. Nice strong building so suitable for a courthouse. Like your top shot.
