Another question that's been bugging me: Where do you suppose the cornerstone was kept for the 36 years between the demolition of the old Court House and the erection of the present Justice Center on that site in 1972? That's a long time to keep something that large and that heavy in storage.  |
Yeah, I was hoping for more information when I ran across the pic but I've posted basically the whole archived caption here (I added the question mark). To have kept it safe for all those years and then to have actually remembered they had it is no mean feat considering the short institutional memory of our municipal government. I'd also like to know where the courthouse clock ended up. Hard to lose something that big. Have we talked about it before? Did I miss it?
