(IL)Legal Access

At the same time the old Alabama Supreme Court building on Dexter Avenue in Montgomery is being encapsulated in a new office tower (picture below), visitors access to the U.S. Supreme Court Building in Washington is being restricted. 
   We'll have to use the servants entrance.



     The RSA project in Montgomery calls for the front to be made of glass, to show off the much older building inside. It does make we wonder what will happen a century from now, when the office tower needs to be torn down...will they somehow save the then 180 year old Supreme Court Building tucked away inside?
