The Monroe County Courthouse is the traditional center of Bloomington. It was built in 1907 during a time of great prosperity. It is the third County Courthouse. The Courthouse is the center of the Downtown Square. The lawn and sidewalk surrounding the courthouse is frequently used for civic events, festivals, protests and other events. There are also many benches and areas for people to sit or lie down.
In 2007, the dome of the courthouse was refinished to its original copper color, which restorationists said it should retain for about 20 years until it beings to turn green again.
