Not exactly in the mountains, but my thoughts are with those who are and have lost their homes to fire.
Chambers County Courthouse in Lafayette Alabama was built in 1900 in the Classical Revival style by architects Golucke & Stewart. The building faces east and is a two story red colored brick, stone and concrete structure. The building is located on landscaped grounds of the Courthouse Square in the center of Lafayette. The east front has a projecting center section with three arches on the first story with recessed entrance. On the second story is a porch with four columns and pediment above. The second story windows are arched. On each corner is a dome with cupola at the top. On the center of the roof is an octagonal brick dome with cupola and Statue of Justice at the top. The clock is the original clock from the 1836 courthouse.
This building was formerly the London County Hall but today is occupied by a number of businesses and attractions.
Beaumont, Texas: Historical Marker:
The first county building constructed at this site was a jailhouse completed in 1838, two years after the organization of Jefferson County. Located on land acquired from Nancy Tevis, a pioneer settler of the area, it also housed county offices and courts. When the commissioners court outgrew the facility, sessions were held in private homes. The first courthouse here was completed in 1854. Built by John A. Beaumont, it was a two-story square structure surrounded by a six-foot picket fence. Baptist and Methodist congregations conducted Sunday services in the building and during the Civil War it was leased to D. T. Inglehart, a Confederate surgeon, for use as a hospital. A second courthouse was constructed in 1893, twelve years after the incorporation of Beaumont. Designed by E. T. Heiner, it was a three-story red brick building with white trim. Following the area oil boom of the 1920s it proved inadequate to meet the needs of the growing population and was replaced by the present brick courthouse in 1931. Designed by Fred Stone and A. Babin, the fourteen-story building features art deco styling in the use of sculpted ornamentation and marble interior work.

The Crossing
This week, Delaware County held its annual county fair. It was cancelled last year, and the grandson was really looking forward to going this year. Often we all go, some to watch the souped-up mighty tractors and some to see the animal, vegetable and flower exhibits.
Alas - with the COVID variant spreading, it was deemed too risky to go to such a crowded event this year.
So we held our own fair! Everyone entered vegetables they had grown, and Chris and I made flower exhibits. She then went all-out and made funnel cakes and other goodies that people like to eat at fairs. The model tractor collection came out, and Chris found videos of tractor pulls to watch after dinner. Grandpa [my hubby], exhibited some old farm tools and told stories of his younger days on the farm. And a good time was had by all!

Eutaw, Greene County, AL USA
This is the historical Greene County Courthouse erected in 1869 is vacant and in a state of ill repair. It's located in the center of courthouse square with three other buildings on corners of the square. One of the corner buildings is occupied by the Probate Judge (tax assessor) and has been renovated. The other two buildings are vacant. It appears that court was held in this building while supporting offices were located in the corner buildings. The Probate Office is the only remaining active building of the three corner buildings.
