DuPage County Courthouse

Built in 1896, the DuPage County Courthouse is now being converted into luxury condominiums. The
courthouse is an example of Richardsonian Romaneesque architecture, characterized by:
"picturesque massing and roofline profiles, along with his mastery of rustication and polychromy. When you see an 1880s building with massive rusticated,semi-circular arches supported on clusters of squat columns, round arches over clusters of windows on massive walls, you are seeing Richardsonian Romanesque." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Hobson_Richardson
