Who knew they would do so much work to save the court house!!

You would think that after so many buildings that Terre Haute has torn down without batting an eye that the court house would be one of them eventually. Well for once that is not the case. I happened to stumble across an article that really help shed some light on this wonderful building. This court house is a 19th century French neo-baroque style has had it's exterior repaired and also has had about 8 million dollars by the city put in to historically remodel the interior and to fix the south portico. I know it's totally shocking that the city would spend so much to save this building, but it gets even better! The two-ton historic bell that use to hang in the bell tower is in the plans of being hung back up and operate. I'm not sure if that has been done yet, but I haven't heard or seen the bell. I am really starting to think I need to get inside this court house and get pictures. They have restored the glass dome and fixed up all the marble floorings. How amazing is it that Terre Haute has put an effort into saving a building and working so hard to fix so many details. Digging into this buildings history is getting to be so cool.
