| Randolph County Courthouse Begins Renovation Tuesday, August 31, 2010 The Randolph County courthouse in Winchester, Indiana held a groundbreaking ceremony today for a $7.6 million, 18-month project to renovate it. Parts of the courthouse date back to 1875, and it was the subject of a lot of debate for the past few years about what to do with it. In 2005, county commissioners voted to demolish it, and in 2006, a group of women in their 80's who called themselves the "courthouse girls" made headlines when they posed nude in a calendar to help raise money to restore the courthouse. During the renovation, county offices have been moved to Winchester's Town Square Business Center (located at 123 W. Franklin St.) S3, Photo of Courthouse, ca. 1890 - Link, |
