The Fairfax County Courthouse Part 12

Macomber: I created it according to patterns used in colonial times. The benches were brought in after the Civil War and had come from the Payne [Jerusalem] Baptist Church. I thought it appropriate to use them.

[171] _Fairfax County Free Press_, August 25, 1966; The bas.e.m.e.nt measured 11 25-1/2 feet and was located across the midsection of the building. At the north end of the bas.e.m.e.nt a stairway led to an outside entrance, and at the south end another stairway provided interior access. The bas.e.m.e.nt was lined with 8-inch thick brick walls, and was divided into two rooms of approximately equal size connected by a doorway 2-1/2 feet wide.

[172] Prior to the reconstruction of the courthouse in 1967, the shutters at the windows on the first floor of the front of the building were louvred in the top half and solid panel in the lower half. In the reconstruction, these shutters were replaced using shutters with solid panels.
