Our first project is the preservation and restoration of the 1915 Adams County Courthouse located in Council, Idaho. The Commission's mandate is to restore the building to its original state and to determine the best use of the building. At this website you can find out what has been accomplished so far, as well as what is planned for the future. You'll also find a gallery of photos and a history of the Council Valley area, as well as how you can help achieve the preservation of this important local landmark. |

Febuary 2010 Update: The projects financed by the Idaho Communtity Block Grant are completed, and we have been notified that we will receive another significant grant that will be used to install heating and cooling, plus a wheelchair lift. When this is completed, it will enable the old courthouse to be used as a Community Center.
On May 14, 2007 we met Governor Otter in McCall for the presentation of an Idaho Community Block Grant for $257, 649. Shown above are, left to right, Governor Otter, Adams County Commissioner Bill Brown, Dale Fisk, Pete Johnston, Elaine Johnston, Jim Peart, Tim Toomey and grant administrator Shawn Charters.
Project completed with the Idaho Community Block Grant:
1--Tying the floor/ceiling joists to the outside walls 2--Reinforcing the rafter/truss system and its connection to the outside walls 3--Repairing the Mission Style cupola on the front of the building 4--The front steps were rebuilt and the entry framework was repaired to make the formal entrance to the building more attractive and functional.
