The west elevation of the McLean County Courthouse is shown facing west in the late afternoon, in filtered sunlight. by Tim Kiser

The McLean County Courthouse was built in 1976, but except for the brick veneer on the first level, it looks ten or twenty years older than that.

The top floors were added in 1990, but they didn't make the building look any newer.

A visit to the B.D.M.I. Co. by Tim Kiser

Ah 1908: Everytime I see the numbers I instantly recall the familiar tunes of my favorite hit songs from that year, such as "Mother Hasn't Spoken to Father Since" and "All She Gets From the Iceman is Ice." Ugh but then they end up stuck in my head!, for days sometimes it seems like.
