Historic Hampshire County Courthouse

I love the domed clock tower on top of the Hampshire County Courthouse in Romney, WV. Outside, there is a historical plaque saying Stonewall Jackson came here after taking a bath in Berkley Springs....OK, too much information! LOL!

I particularly like the perspective on the left one

@jgpittenger Thanks. I had a hard time getting the clock tower because there was so many electric wires surrounding it.
@sdutoit Thanks!

Two great shots! Oh how funny- take a bath, go to court.

I like the lighting on the building as well as the architecture.

@olivetreeann It does sound that way, doesn't it? I think he came there for his military posting. Berkley Springs was supposed to be a restorative bath, so a lot of people went there to improve their health. He was part of the Confederate force that continued to fight for control of Romney. The town changed hands 7 times during the way. It's close to the VA border, guess they didn't like giving up half of their state.
