The Logan County Courthouse, Lincoln, Illinois, was built in 1905-1906, the year after the city was platted. The original courthouse in Logan County was a much smaller wooden structure that was built in 1840, before the current building was completed. It was in this original courthouse that President Abraham Lincoln practiced law. It now resides in the Greenfield Village, Dearborn, MI.

The original metal covering the iconic dome, as well as the coating applied to protect it, has reached the end of its functional lifespan and needs to be replaced. Logan County has decided to remove and replace all failing metal, with special attention to the natural thermal movement of the dome.

The Durable Restoration Company will replace the failing metal and create a new dome to be enjoyed by Logan County’s future generations.
