Tweed Courthouse

Focusing on the methodology of preservation technology, Tweed Courthouse recounts the history of the original construction, a story of corruption and grand municipal design at its best, and presents the restoration and adaptive use of the building as an exemplar of preservation practice, keeping the original spaces and building fabric while providing all the amenities of a modern structure in a way that allows for further adaptive use in the future. The project is unique, but the approach and techniques utilized in the work provide a model for saving and reusing other public buildings."--Jacket.
