Building to be Spruced Up for Davidson County Courthouse
Davidson County Commissioners voted to hire architect William R. Wallace Jr to prepare plans and cost estimates for renovating the historic courthouse. Proposals include brick pointing, a new roof, and a fresh paint job. The building is slated to serve as quarters for the County Board of Education, but deed transfer to the school board is deemed legally unfeasible, so the county will fund the repairs.
