The Provo Historic courthouse was built in 1860 and was Provo's first building constructed to be used as a courthouse. Having the opportunity to live fairly close to this beautifully designed classical building I got the chance to go and measure some of the dimensions used for columns, windows, and ornamentation. After gathering the classical elements dimensions I was able to redraw them into a software so that they are all proportionally to scale. After doing that I rearranged them into a presentation board that artistically displays the highlights of this classically designed building.
