front entrance, We might exclaim:
How beautiful. Marble is used
throughout the building, from the
ground floors to the roof, Dandy Yer.
mont marble being the quality selec.
ted. After passing the vestibule we
vt once find ourselves in the spacious
main hall Of the court house, which
is entirely finished in polished mar,
BILE, and richly decorated mural pam
els, until the whole falls away into
large Darrell dome running the
length OF the entire hall, which is no
ticeably one OF the features of the
county's new home for its officials
The lunetts under the arches at eth
er end of the dome are painted in
gold, and allegorical figures are plac.
ed all around the great dome. On
either side are two large panels that
contain the Ten Commandments,
written in gold leaf, on a green back
ground, each panel contains one nalf
of the Ten Commandments. A nat
ural and even flow of light, to set OFF
these features Is secured through the
colored glass Of the dome by the sky
light above. After q glance at such
decorative features of the building,
one naturally turns to the utility Of
the building. We first glance at the
carpenter work and In a moment we
see It is all solid mahogany. AS we
pass we see that the offices Of the
county commissioners, and other
county offices are all furnished In
mahogany. They being or the first
floor and are very accessible. Be-
sides these there are on the main
floor two large court rooms for the
court of common pleas. and the larg-
err one for trying criminal cases, Of
the superior court, together with Law
atories, consultation rooms, retiring
rooms for the judges and jury. The
fixtures are all of bronze and the hard
ware made especially for the build.
ing is of solid bronze. On the knob
of each door, is the seal Of the coun-
ty worked into n border Of Grecian
design. We then go from the first
to the second, or mezzanine floor, as
It is called, by way of the Mason
stairway. The stairway has an in
dividual dome of its own, richly dec
Grated with gold leaf blended with
crimson. This floor is given over en-
tirely to offices for clerks, messeng
ers, stenographers, and other such
offices. No two court rooms in the
entire building are finished in the
same colors, but are all decorated
with rich color scheme, changing in
shade until 1t blends with the color,
ings of the ceilings,
The third floor is used for court
rooms In which are tried cases on
the civil side Of the superior court.
Also the library is installed on this
floor, which will house the books of
the county for years to come. In
addition to this the floor contains re.
firing rooms for judges and reference
rooms. All the floors OF the building
are tiled In rubber. The steps are
all of marble. Two elevators are at
the service OF the public. ell of which
add greatly to the ease and comfort
OF the office holders. Every detail Is
in keeping with the slogan: Old Elms
and New Ideas. Thus We have In
brief mental view of New Ravens
county court house.
