Hall of Justice Renovation/Restoration Project

Years ago, I went inside the stripped and gutted Los Angeles County Hall of Justice.

There was nothing inside but bare concrete walls and floors. Marble tiles, that once made up the ornate walls were all stacked on pallets in the basement. The basement once housed the County Coroner's facilities. Celebrities including Marilyn Monroe, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and George Reeves were autopsied there.

Thankfully, funding had been allocated and the project to restore the Hall of Justice is proceeding. The project is supposed to be completed next year.

Here's the website of the contractor who is handling the restoration.
