Another porch

Another house across from the jail...doesn't that porch look so inviting? I would want to sit out there all the time if it were mine.

Front porch views

This home was across the street from the Old Jail Museum in Albion, Indiana. Who can resist fretwork like this?
This set of steps came right off the corner...I have seen this a few times, but not with all the ornate woodwork done here.
I was over in front of the jail looking back towards the home and could not resist another photo.

The stairs

Even the stairs were amazing at the Noble County Courthouse....I have never seen any so ornate.
Again I have played with the lighting...if it is really bad please tell me.
I don't think I would mind seeing these steps everyday.

Let there be light

I hope you can see this...I have played with it in photo shop because I think it was too dark. Hopefully I have not went too far the other way. It is so hard to tell what things look like on a laptop.

Anyway, it is in the Noble County Courthouse...I think the judge told us it had been restored. It sure is a beauty.

Here we have Noble County Courthouse

On my other blog, I have posted the Old Jail Museum in Albion, Indiana--which is the county seat of Noble Country. I just happened to see it when we stopped for me to take photos of this courthouse.
I think it is one of the most beautiful courthouses I have seen....
I could not take it all in in one shot.
And these are just the outside of the building.
I hope that you take the time to click on the pictures....they are even better when enlarged.

See the gentleman with the blue shirt in the above photo...we were talking to him. He suggested we go inside, and told us there were old photos on the walls taken way, way back. (He is also who told us about the Old Jail Museum on my Pics & Pieces Blog.)

When we finally made it inside, he was in there and he grabbed a judge and told him he should take us around and tell us about the courthouse. The judge was so nice and friendly, and even took us to the third floor and opened this one courtroom that had been restored to the way it was originally. I did not take photos..I felt rude taking photos with him talking, but now I wish I had asked him if he minded.

I sure wish this were closer--I am sure I would be taking lots of photos there.
