Description
A black and white print showing a view of the Court House square on the northwest corner of King and Ridout Streets. On the right, facing Ridout Street, is an Italianate style building that housed the County Offices. Two storage sheds, probably used to hold tools or livestock, can be seen behind a stockade fence. A group of males stands in front of the dilapidated perimeter fence.
Notes
This photograph would have been taken prior to the major Court House renovations done in 1878. A guess has been made that it was taken ca. 1870.

There is a handwitten inscription on the back of the photograph. PG B19
