While
before and
after photos always
provide a nice contrast, seeing a restoration in progress can be very
educational. Propinquity allows us to bring you these snapshots of
J. Reily Gordon’s Fayette
County Courthouse as the exterior work nears completion.
The scheduled completion date is a mystery. Spring and summer rains,
besides producing a miniature forest of Pecan tree sprouts, delayed
work for many days.
Depending on whom you talk to - the completion date is October, November
or December of 2004. |
