INSIDE THE OLD COURTHOUSE

 

The statue of Dred and Harriet Scott I posted yesterday is outside the building we call the Old Courthouse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Courthouse_(St._Louis). It was built in stages during the 19th Century and became the seat of state and federal legal proceedings. It is now part of the National Park system and underwent  a big restoration recently. The view is inside the rotunda from the first balcony, which is as far up as they let you go.
