County offices move to larger administration building
Elbow room, acres of it, are the new reality for Lorain County workers after moving from the courthouse to 328-332 Broad Street. The 78,800 square foot administration building houses the commissioners, auditor, treasurer, recorder and tax map offices, plus the newly appointed Lorain County Board for Mental Retardation. Not all space is in use yet, with plenty of room still available for future departments.

He cites toys as genesis for instruments and tools, notes cultural bursts in periods like Periclean Athens and the Renaissance, and asserts humans retain youthful playfulness while other life forms do not.
