Lamar County Courthouse Part VIII

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 and Part VII. As always, you can click on any of the photos in this blog to enlarge them.
