Spruced Up Manchester Courthouse Opens

Did you know that the Manchester Courthouse is the only surviving public building in Manchester? RTD has pictures and more details:
The historic Manchester Courthouse in South Richmond is back in business, after a $23 million, court-ordered expansion.

City officials, judges and others gathered in Courtroom 1 yesterday to rededicate the 1872 courthouse as the Manchester General District Courts Building. The complex has three courtrooms and 58,000 square feet — more than double the previous size.

“We pray this building will be a place where justice will abound, where persons will be able to be judged, not by their color, not by their status, but rather by their citizenship,” Mayor Dwight C. Jones said.
