Yesterday while riding home from Union County I remember that in the late 1970's there was a group of invenstors (or something) that wanted to build a parking lot in place of the Old Courthouse. The Courthouse was built in 1927 and operated until 1971 when it was replaced by a new, and at that time, contemporary building. There was such a firestorm of support that the Courthouse was saved and reopened with county offices in 1986.
This is the Courthouse today
What a loss this would have been for the County. It has been the backdrop for a hollywood movie and is so rich in history. Why do we think that we can improve of what our ancestors built?
