Franklin County Courthouse

This has to be one of the nicest courthouses I've had the pleasure to photograph.
Here's a bit of history:
The Franklin County Courthouse constructed in 1893, was designed by Geo. P. Washburn (Ottawa) one of the state's most prominent early architects. He designed fifteen courthouses in three states. This courthouse, because of its architectural excellence and being the best-kept example of his use of square towers, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, March 17, 1972.

I think some perspective correction would be all right in this photograph. Notice especially the curvature on the right side.
