Proposal for a large multi-story county and city building
A plan describes a fire proof, 200 by 200 foot four fronted building with four stories and a basement. It includes separate public comfort rooms for men women and children on the basement or ground floor, janitor and officials’ rooms, county commissioners and council chambers, and school trustees rooms. The first floor would house county offices including county officers and vaults. The second floor would hold court facilities, juries, bailiffs and judges rooms and law library. The third floor would contain Soldiers and Sailors executive offices with a memorial auditorium seating one thousand, history room, reading rooms for men and women, plus elevators on each floor. Heating would be via a plant on the jail lot or nearby, with possible sub basement for heating equipment and proper drainage to city sewers. The building should sit at the center of the present court house square.
