Letter: Many of us are proud of old courthouse Comments re article 105630 Letter Tear them down By Richard Raines I agree with Billy Joe Fudge, especially if the additions are going to be difficult to repair. I remember when the courthouse was renovated in the mid-1970's the small additions on the Burkesville St side were torn off of the building and replaced with larger additions that would appear symmetrical with the Campbellsville street side from Jamestown and Greensburg street sides. Best I remember, there was an addition on the Campbellsville Street side which was NOT torn down and rebuilt, just a foot or two on each end added to it to make it look symmetrical with the Burkesville street side (I think there is an expansion joint visible where that side was added on to). I think it would make the building look much better to take the additions off and restore the outside to the origional footprint. I haven't been inside that building since offices were moved to the annex and the Judicial center, and I don't remember seeing pictures of the building with the pre-renovation additions, except for the picture on the "Whittler's Print." I think a lot of us are proud of our old courthouse, just like the flag in Johnny Cash's song about the ragged old flag, whether we are Adair County born or transplanted from somewhere else. --Richard This story was posted on 2019-08-15 11:04:54
