Photographer's Note:
"The cupola has been recently reconstructed and painted its original color. The painted on clock faces read 7:45 when the courthouse was built, but now read 10:10. No one that I talked to at the courthouse knew the significance of either painted on time." - Terry Jeanson February, 2007
