The Courthouse
The bell tower can
be reached from a small staircase off the third floor. The door leading to the
stairs is locked with a hasp and padlock. The steps are small and the place is
definitely not for claustrophobics. Tiny windows look down at the sidewalk - nearly
100 feet below. |

On the
way up one sees that someone named Albert was once in the tower with white paint
and time on his hands. It can't immediately be proven that Albert was a county
employee - but when he painted his name here - he was certainly "on the clock".
