About
Brze činjenice: Expect marble staircases and a clock-towered silhouette that locals recognize from the highway, with public art and civic plaques tucked into the lobby. More than 1,200 employees and visitors pass through security each weekday, and the public meeting chambers frequently host county board sessions with spirited debates.
Istaknuto: Walk into the main lobby and the scent of polished wood meets a 12-foot mural painted by a longtime county artist, the reds and blues so vivid you can trace each raised brushstroke with your eyes. A local tradition sees staff volunteers polish a 90-pound brass bell twice a year, and the bell's noon ring, timed to last about 60 seconds, lowers every conversation in the marble halls.
Insider tips
- Bring photo ID for access to records and restricted floors.
- Check the county website for meeting schedules before visiting if you want to observe hearings.
- Use metered street parking or the county lot; avoid private lots that charge high rates.
- Ask security about photography rules before taking pictures in the lobby or hallways.
