"In 1937, to commemorate Lake County's fiftieth anniversary a monumental flag pole was constructed on the Courthouse lawn. It has a rectangular base formed from rocks sent from native states and countries of past and present residents of Lake County and holds three flag poles. During the building restoration, the parking lot in the front (east) of the building was removed and the area was returned to "green space" with walkways around the monument."
