Ind. Courts - More on "Donors wanted for $500,000 decorative Randolph County Courthouse roof"
Updating this ILB entry from Oct. 2, Joy Leiker of the Muncie Star Press reports today in a lengthy story, complete with photos, timelines and side-bars, that begins:
WINCHESTER -- The plan: Use one historic Randolph County building to raise money for another.On Sunday, a group of residents -- who call themselves the Save Our Courthouse group -- will open the doors of the former county home for public tours. Organizers say it might be the first time in the building's history that the doors will be open to the public.
And though it's now void of residents -- the last ones were moved out last year -- the building is full of ornate and interesting architecture. The cost of admission -- $10 in advance or $12 at the door -- will go to a fund to help recover some of the history that was torn off the top of another local structure -- the county courthouse, on Winchester's downtown square.
