Roane Building c. 1896 @ Historic Court Circle - Gloucester, VA, USA

Gloucester County built this 1896 Clerk of the Court office to comply with the State’s rigid fire codes. After having lost precious county records on several occasions, officials weren’t taking any chances. Each room can be closed off from the remainder of the building by a heavy iron door. The walls are fireproof, and the interior of the roof is cement. In theory, if a fire began in any room, it would not spread to the remaining building. The county named the building for Basil Bernard Roane, Deputy Clerk, and Clerk for 59 years.
