Additions to The Courthouse at La Plata

This new courthouse changed little inwardly and not at all outwardly, until the completion
of the South Addition in 1954. This "Addition," which is very much larger than the old
courthouse and literally swallows it, was dedicated with fitting ceremonies on October 2, 1954.
The architect was Frederick Tilp, and the builder, Kahn Engineering Company. The total cost
approximated $300,000.³⁶

³⁶ A bond issue of $200,000 was authorized by Ch. 282, Acts
of 1953. The additional funds needed were derived from other
sources.
