Riverhead, Long Island, NY is the County seat and this is where the old Supreme Court Building resides. The original wooden structure was built in the mid 1800's and damaged by fire and rebuilt in 1928. The County has since built a new court building behind this structure and is attached to the nineteenth century complex by bridges. The whole area is roped off and is undergoing a major face lift.

What an old and historic building - it has awesome architectural details! Beuatiful!
ReplyDeleteI expected to see Charleton Heston come striding down those stairs, great shot.
ReplyDeleteI feel a sense of relief that the building is being renovated. Such a shame to see a grand old place like that in such disrepair. Great shot, Eddie. The sky is fabulous...
ReplyDeleteGreat old building. So is it still used or just a historic site? Nice image Eddie
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Julie's right - sky is fabulous, and the stairway and tip of the roof draw your eye right up there.
ReplyDeleteIf walls could talk... I bet we'd hear some great stories to go along with the great image.
ReplyDeletegreat shot.
ReplyDeleteYes the building is still in use today. It is accessible only from the main entrance of the new bldg attached to the rear. Thed top floor is open to the public...bottom floor is restricted (no public access). At one time the bldg did house a courtroom, but most remember it for housing the district attorneys office (they moved out long ago). It now houses offices.
