Old District Courthouse Facelift
16 07 2008If you have been down by Judiciary Square over the past year you have probably noticed all the construction going on around the Old District Courthouse building. Well all that construction and disruption is definitely going to be worth it, check out the model of what the new glass entrance pavilion on the north facade is going to look like when it’s finished!
The original building was designed in 1820 by George Hadfield and is designated a National Historic Landmark, so the current architect Beyer Blinder Belle had very strict rules to follow when designing the addition. We think the glass will actually look very nice once it’s finished and will match the metro pavilions on the other side of Judiciary Square. They will also be expanding the space to make more room for the current occupant, the Court of Appeals. [Model: Beyer Blinder Belle]
