A classic example of the mid thirties “Brick Box” courthouse is the Clackamas County Courthouse in Oregon City Oregon. At the end of the Oregon Trail, it has been the site of many historic trials in Oregon’s history.
Probably one of the most interesting and certainly the court proceeding which gained the most international attention was the trial for Tanya Harding, her husband/boyfriend and his band of thugs who whacked Nancy Kerrigan on the knee just before the 1994 Olympics! Just Google Tanya Harding for a few laughs.
By the way, does anyone know what the significance of the guys above the door lentil’s are? If so, drop me an e-mail, I have seen them on a number of courthouse.
