We had a little trouble finding this retired courthouse – it was right downtown – on a traffic circle.  It looks much different now than it did in the Kelsey & Dyal book.  It was purchased by a law firm – and the front door is now locked.  We asked to come in and see the interior but were told we’d have to get permission from the higher ups next door – so we just skipped it.  It looks like the dome was removed – and I don’t know what – if any of the original features were retained.  I did see some pressed tin on the ceiling of the lobby.
