Posted September 18, 200717 yr St. John's is located about 20 miles north of Lansing and is the seat of Clinton County. The courthouse can be seen in this photo. I talked to a lady at an antique store and she said people were sad about the old courthouse being demolished.
September 18, 200717 yr Wonderful photos! I actually like the design of the new courthouse. Looks like a 60's addition had ruined the old courthouse; I still wonder if it couldn't have been saved, however. It once looked like this! http://www.clinton-county.org/courthouse/renov_additions.htm
September 21, 200717 yr inkaelin, Glad you like the design of the new courthouse.. I did some work on it. Our firm also won a lot of AIA awards for it. It's unfortunate the old one was torn down, but of course, my firm had nothing to do with it. We actually pushed for them to restore the original, demolish the additions, and put on a new addition to match.
