The Court House

I have always loved court houses. They are always so beautifully designed. There is so much detail that goes into planning out each room. Court houses are also neat for the pure fact that they get to see everything that goes on in a city. Every big robbery, murder, and civil suit this city has seen has gone through that court house.

Like most cities the court house here in Terre Haute is located in the heart of down town. I decided that I needed to do a little more looking into the history of such a beautiful building. The building of the court house started on August 14, 1884 with the laying of 10,000 cornerstones. The monuments that were later constructed all have speacial meaning and are all dedicated to the people who have served in America in the armed forces and for the people of Terre Haute who at one time brought this city to it's greatness.

I plan on digging deeper into the history that has been through the court house and filling you guys in at a later time. There is just so much stuff to go through that I can't even begin to tell it all to you in one post.
