The Jasper County Courthouse is a stunning Romanesque building that was built in 1895. We took a break one afternoon and drove the few miles into town to see it before they closed at 5pm. Once inside, Andy couldn't resist himself when he saw the 107 year old cage elevator....he pushed the call button!
And, what do you think happened next? The elevator came...with a live human operator on board. Yeah, we were embarrassed to admit that we just wanted a joy ride on an open cage elevator. Ooops!
The one thing we really liked about the city of Carthage was that most of the homes (older, but well-kept) had front porches. We laughed that it was a 'real' front-porch community, where in Florida we have to plan & develop these communities (Celebration, FL).
