Custer County Courthouse Project—2009

As of spring and summer, 2009 we are working with the Custer County commissioners to convert the courthouse lighting to shielded fixtures.

Following "before" photos were taken in May, 2009 of the courthouse prior to work beginning. The "after" photos were taken in early July, 2009, when installation of the major wall pack fixtures was completed. The pairs of images have the "before" images first followed by the "after" image.

View of the rear of the building from the parking lot. Even though the sky is brighter in the above "before" image, the exterior of the building is much more evenly lit to the eye in the "after" image.

 

View of the front of the building looking southeast from across Sixth Street. Note the dazzling intensity of the front door wall pack in the above "before" image.



View of the front of the building looking north from the south parking lot. The wall packs are intense from this side view and, unfortunately, the upward pointing spot for the flag had to be left in place.
