Then went to the old Vanderburgh County courthouse, ca.1890, which is very beautiful, but sadly decrepit. Nice that it’s still standing, however. The usual non-profits and design firm tenants. Scavengers for cheap rents. Found these two strange busts, one of Benjamin Bosse, the mayor of Evansville from 1914-22, namesake of Bosse field, the great old minor-league field where they shot a lot of the film A League of Their Own. The other bust, of Francis J. Reitz, scion of a wealthy lumber family, seems to have been made by Edward Gorey. Odd.
