Description
The Morden Court House was opened in 1905. The construction of a court building in Morden confirmed the communityβs emerging significance in the province.Local granite boulders were used in the construction. The stones were free for the taking and are said to have been used as a cost cutting measure. The structure is neoclassical in design with 18th century Georgian origins. Architectural details include projecting stones or quoins, a well-proportioned cornice and a semicircular pediment over the three central bays.

I really like this building. Apparently there was one hanging held in Morden. Kind of a morbid piece of info.

We've only had one snow here this year - about three inches (which is a lot for us), so you can send snow anytime you like.
I've missed you, too.

This town is really a funny place, lots of English settlers a century ago, and that is why there is such an influence I suspect.
You know there is actually a "town" is Saskatchewan that was set up to be a gentile English community. It died when the rail was put through further south, but they had a mill, school, library, bakery and even a tennis court. I did a story on it many years ago, and right now, the name escapes me.

We seem to have influenced quite a number of places around the world somehow or other. Problem was we always had to take England with us.
