Oftentimes, pictures are more powerful than words, and that’s the case with the new photographic exhibit at the Reno County Courthouse. More than 20 photographs from the Harmon/Conard collection were blown up and framed by Framagraphic on Main Street and placed on the walls of the courthouse. The pictures, which were chosen by a committee, represent a wholistic view of Hutchinson, beginning in the late 1800s. “It enriches a life to know more about the history of the place where we are living,” said District Judge Trish Rose, one of the judges who works at the courthouse. “The remodel of the courthouse is an ideal time.” Once the remodel is complete, Rose hopes more people take advantage of touring the courthouse. “We’re one of three art deco courthouses in Kansas,” Rose said. “I have attorneys tell me ‘It’s the grandest courthouse they practice in.'”
