I'm finally reposting these from the big wipe-out.

 

In December, I attended a tour of the endangered Seneca County Courthouse in Tiffin. After nearly a year of battles between the county commissioners and preservationists, the future of the courthouse comes to a vote Tuesday (March 4). Honestly, I'm going to be watching this race closer than the presidential nominee races.

Some gorgeous details in there!

It looks like it has seen better days but nothing a little TLC couldn't fix.

wow, what a beaut. yeah that couthouse needs to be rejuvenated or at least carefully mothballed.

 

across the street -- this is really a stunning block. gorgeous  :clap:

Pretty nice inside  . . . behind all the crap that has been added :)

Wonderful interior!

What a beauty that could be, properly restored.

It's sad that this one lost out to the will of the voters.

Yay :) If it was going to be demolished I was going to make a trip down there sometime to photograph it.
