The Macoupin County Courthouse was designed by the prolific architect Elijah E. Myers (1832-1909) whose work includes three state capitols (Michigan, Texas, and Colorado), along with courthouses and other public buildings in the United States and internationally. The McDonough County Courthouse, featured last fall in my series on Macomb, Illinois, was also designed by Myers.
After serving in the military during the Civil War, Myers settled briefly in Springfield, Illinois, and it was there that he obtained the Macoupin County courthouse commission. Myers must have put every ounce of his architectural knowledge into the Macoupin County design, whose grand size and elaborate ornamentation seems more suited to a state house than a rural courthouse. The Beaux-Arts building was under construction from 1867-70.
Beyond the beauty of this courthouse is an interesting backstory about how this building came to be known as the "Million Dollar Courthouse." The following description is borrowed from the Macoupin County website (macoupincountyil.gov/)
Macoupin Countyās āMillion Dollar Courthouseā received its nickname because when construction was halted in 1870 ā that was halted, not completed ā it cost $1.3 million. That would be $23.5 million dollars in todayās money. At the time, it was the biggest instance of overspending in Illinois history.
There were accusations by county residents regarding misappropriations of funds during the construction of the courthouse. One of the commissioners, Judge Loomis was accused of using stone from the courthouse to build a grand hotel, the Loomis House, on the square. Judge Loomis stated he purchased the stone but never produced a bill of sales. Another commissioner, County Clerk George Holliday, was seen leaving town by train in the middle of the night carrying a carpet bag. Public opinion was that the bag was filled with some of the money raised for construction of the courthouse. Holliday was never seen again and it is still a mystery as to where he went.
When the courthouse was opened in 1870, it was the largest courthouse in the country with the possible exception of one in New York City. The doors, staircases, windows sills and sashes are all made of cast iron, making the courthouse the first fireproof building in the country.
It took the citizens of Macoupin County 40 years to pay off the debt. Many lost their homes and farms because of the taxes. There was a two day jubilee to celebrate the burning of the last bond in 1910.
The āMillion Dollar Courthouseā is one of few courthouses of its age that is not a museum, white elephant, or has been demolished. It is still a working courthouse which is open for business 5 days a week.
It stands as an awe inspiring example of what men did with their hands and simple tools a century and a half ago. Over the years, the āMillion Dollar Courthouseā has become a showplace that attracts tourists, architects and artist from around the world.
The Macoupin County Courthouse is the focal point of the Carlinville Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. At the 2020 census, the population of Carlinville was 5,710. efault

Jeannie collects broken pottery and glass from all around Randsburg and makes stars by connecting the pieces with twisted wire. I don't usually photograph people, but she was so unique and friendly :-) Of course I had to buy one, and when I go back tomorrow I hope she is around so I can get a couple more :-)
P.S. Thanks Lara for reminding me of her name :-)
Update: Jeannie passed away some time ago, I miss seeing her when I go to Randsburg, she was very special.

An inversion layer on a cold autumnal afternoon in November near Markethill. The sun has just gone down leaving some nice colour in the Belt of Venus. Taken handheld at f4.0 as the fog was moving around a bit and the scene was ever changing. St John's Parish Church Mullabrack is clearly visible poking out of the fog in this shot.

I gave her a new nick name, "Little Explorer".
She loves going outside in the morning and late at night exploring her neighborhood. Like a proud parent, I put all my trust in her coming back home and she does, hungry for another meal after exploring and sometimes dirty and dingy from rolling in dirt LOL. She just got a bath today!
