Repurposing Complete

After two years the conversion of the old
county courthouse is nearly complete. In recent years
the building had been used by National Lewis University.
Now it becomes a collection of luxury condominiums.
What housing market slump?

They stopped the clock to save time, but justice and learning couldn't be saved. However the housing problem has been fixed and this majestic building will shine for a few more centuries, if mankind and nature stay gentle. Nice shot. V.

Hints of English Victorian Gothic here that is reminiscent of some red-brick universities and town halls of the period.

LOL...this repurposing makes sense. Less edjumacation, more housing. :))) V

Does the clock tower suite come with an alarm-clock? Nice to see old structures saved.
