History

The art deco styled courthouse was designed by William C. Townes and was built in 1932.[2] The courthouse cost $315,000 ($5.9 million in 2019 dollars) to build.[2]

The Potter County Library, which sits on the same property as the courthouse, was also designed by Townes and was built in 1922.

gollark: What?
gollark: You shouldn't really, unless you plan to lean heavily on dictatorial direct control. Make the other rules clearer.
gollark: Rule changes should occur if there are actual issues needing to be addressed. Some of these changes do indeed address issues people have raised, but as far as I can tell nobody has actually had an issue with advertising and cargo-culting unnecessary strict and unclear rules from larger servers is actually bad.
gollark: Again; do you actually have a justification for the advertising rule change beyond "all rules should be stricter because [things]"?
gollark: Answer the question, please.
