55 about the Cover

Happy New Year ! We are continuing on this issue ’ s cover to highlight historical legal images from Hillsborough County , with a postcard from 1905 by the Rotagraph Co . showing the Hillsborough County Courthouse of that time . Built in 1892 , the ornate , red brick courthouse with a silver dome occupied a square block in downtown Tampa . The architect , J . A . Wood , also designed the Tampa Bay Hotel . The silhouette of the courthouse is still featured today in the Hillsborough County government logo , and in a replica gazebo in Courthouse Square across the street from the County government building . In addition , original doors from this courthouse were restored and are now on the Judicial Conference Room at the George Edgecomb Courthouse . This courthouse remained in use until the 1950 ’ s . Postcard provided courtesy of Tom Elligett .
