Completed in 2023, the former County Courthouse and adjacent Sheriff’s House in Woodstock, Illinois, of Groundhog’s Day fame, recently underwent a wholesale modernization and retrofit, designed by Studio GWA architects and managed by Bulley & Andrews. The three-tiered brick buildings, now known as the Old Courthouse Center, anchor the town square. Though they have been subjected to a string of modifications and repairs since their original dates of construction (1857, the Old Courthouse, and 1887, the former Sheriff’s House), they still look pretty much the same on the outside as they did over a century ago, except cars roll by instead of horse-and-buggies.
