Description
Enjoying an adventure with my sisters a few years ago, we made sure to include visiting the Decatur County Courthouse in Greensburg, Indiana! Why you may ask? Well, I ask you - how many courthouses have you seen that have a tree growing out its roof? It all started in 1870 when residents noticed little branches coming out of the roof! Over the years it sprouted new trees which were cut back and then finally the one tree died and was removed. As difficult as it is to believe, another grew in its place! The species of the tree has been disputed, but finally determined to be a Mulberry. I took my original photograph through a digital paint process to reach this rendering.
