A 111 year old St Clair County Courthouse in Belleville is torn down after the fifth district appellate court refused a rehearing. About 400 spectators witnessed the start of demolition as demolition work began this week. The Citizens Courthouse Committee fought three court battles to save the building which stood since the Civil War. The County Public Building Commission said renovation was too costly and a new complex is planned. The northwest corner crumbled Friday as 80 of the 400 watched. The contractor estimated about a week to finish.
