Municipal Court House – 1961

Image from SWODA

While searching for something unrelated, I came across this picture of the old Municipal Court House at City Hall Square. This photo dates from 1961, although the courthouse was built in 1955. It was designed by Sheppard & Masson, who were also the architects of the old City Hall that opened shortly after. This building was demolished in the early 2000s. Some time after the new police station was opened. It became a parking lot, and now the new city hall sits on the site. It was a nice modernist building, would have been nice if this one would have survived and been repurposed.
