This link will give you some really cool information about the building of the courthouse. It was built under the supervision of Sir William Johnson in the georgian style. He supplied 500 pounds of his money as well as 25 gallons of rum to the workers. I wonder how many ended up in front of the bench when they finished construction. Makes you wonder how the building stayed so straight for all these years. Happy WMin' and remember don't drink & WM. Swizzle & Family
