Tarrant County Courthouse slated for restoration
Joe Bob Quasimodo will be temporarily at loose ends
Originally built in the early 1890s, the Tarrant County Courthouse is an imposing and architecturally fascinating facade -- but the housing for its clock tower is (literally) falling apart.
Thus, despite difficult budgetary realities, plans have been announced for a $2 million restoration of the historic structure, to include a new copper roof, with construction set to begin later in 2009.
