I think they could "reverse" the building and put the main entrance to the Court House Square on Oregon Street instead and make the older portion the lovely entrance. The front and back were very similar in looks. The really sad thing is they want to make lots of parking lots with fences around it for security. Wouldn't it be nice if they would build a new complex somewhere else and turn our courthouse square into a lovely "public" place again!Claudia Easthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10508097372768337834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940611489190367707.post-8681854262711292942008-09-23T07:31:00.000-07:002008-09-23T07:31:00.000-07:00oh uhgg! It really makes me sad that this building...oh uhgg! It really makes me sad that this building will be gone. I had heard about the news and made a special trip to see for myself and I had no idea there was such a beautiful bldg behind our 'new' courthouse. If they would just demolish the Sheriff's office and the bldg on Butte St people would be able to view the old courthouse and I really think it would make a great attraction for Yreka. It is a perfect place for a city park! <BR/><BR/>I would like to know why they spent all that money on painting a bldg they are turning around and demolishing. How is all of this in the best interests of the citizens? Don't they work for us? Our community is in need of so many things. I don't understand how this became a priority. Well I guess I do understand. We have a saying in our family when we are playing card games, "If you're keeping score and you're not winning, something's wrong."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
