Courthouse Renovation Adds Windsor Benches and Chandelier
The courthouse underwent renovations including a lowered ceiling, new carpet, removed jury box and benches replaced with Windsor-type settles, and a white interior with a colonial chandelier. The McKee Fund donated the chandelier and efforts reframe 37 paintings while restoring brick exterior. Costs totaled about 37,700 dollars with structural work at 30,000 and furnishings at 7,700. In April Circuit Judge Elliott D Marshall swore in a new judge, Robert K Woltz of Winchester.
