Lamar County Courthouse, Part IX

For those of you just joining us or for those of you who do not want to wade back through my blog for the previous parts of this renovation series, I have provided links for your lazy tails here: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V (The Big Momma- where I photograph the inside for the first time) Part VI, Part VII and Part VIII. As always, you can click on any of the photos in this blog to enlarge them.

It’s been a while since I blogged about the renovations but unfortunately I have not had a chance to stop and take photos until today. I have not been inside the courthouse in over two months and that is where most of the work is taking place these days. They are moving farther along on the new additions to the sides of the building and each time I see it, it leaves me even more perplexed. I’m ready for them to finish these things so I can see exactly what they’re going to look like when its completed.

Above is one side of additions and below is the other side, a different angle; a straight on shot.

I noticed on the top right corner of the building, they’ve added four new air conditioning units to the roof when all of the previous units were sitting on the ground before the renovation started. All of the wiring and duct work was visible at the time and was tacky as all get out so yay for making it less of an eye sore!

I drove around back and saw the capitals for the eventual side columns that will match the existing front columns.

Other than a few piles of metal, cinder blocks and white-plastic-wrapped-squares on the front lawn, nothing much is going on outside these days. I promise to get unbusy asap and get inside to see what hopping in there.
