Details, details, details Here is but a bit of the details one can see on our venerable old courthouse. The lady has suffered more than her share of abuse as she has been chopped and muddled by successive generations of Washington officials. Her grand entryway steps had already been chopped off over fifty years ago when I was a child. Later the massive wooden doors were removed and the doorways bricked up with a 1960's picture window inserted as a cruel afterthought. The once almost regal courtroom itself has been slowly turned into a muddle of styles poorly thought out, Stalinesque space use, and crummy artificial light. The ceilings were lowered in the fifties and thank god for the cheapness of those muddlers, the barrel ceiling of the original still arches over the mess below - now hidden by suspended asbestos or plastic or both. It is reported that the original is in mostly good repair and the original paintings are also still clearly visible to those whom have peeked above the tiles. I won't talk about the rest of the interior and the abominations one can find there, as I don't have the time right now. Through all that muddling she endures, and some of the recent works on her were of the restorative kind done with thought, not jackhammers.
