Everyone must have a courthouse where you live, or a least near. In North Carolina we have 100 counties and 100 county courthouses, plus the state courthouse. I did not consider federal courthouses.
When I retired in mid 1999 I photographed my first North Carolina courthouse. I have forgotten the reason; perhaps it was just an interesting subject. Anyway, for a self interest project, I decided I would photography all 100 county courthouses. It took me most of the year 2000 and quite a few miles before I completed the project. Some are very beautiful, few are just building. If the county had a new courthouse, plus an old one, the photograph was made of the older one.
The one posted is Jackson County, in the North Carolina Mountains.
