In my life all I have ever known of the metal railing on the upper floor of the old courthouse was just that, modern, metal railing. Quite a few years ago after discovering archival photos online I learned that the original railing was indeed wood, with a lot more spindles in each span. The photos shared today show the original first, the metal railing through the years, then the restoration of the original wooden railing accomplished today. I think the replacing of the original gives the building a much more authentic appearance and we are so pleased with the outcome of today’s progress. We overwhelmingly thank the Lathan Company of Mobile and their fine attention to detail.
Also, we thank everyone who has supported us from the bottom of our hearts. We are looking forward to continuing with the restoration of Linden‘s grand historical structure.
