I visited Janesville on Sunday November 29, 2015. It was a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning. I had never been in downtown Janesville before, at least as far as I can remember, so it was interesting to see the city. I parked on South Main Street and then walked through the park for some pictures of the front of the courthouse. I then walked on the north side of the building to the top of Courthouse Hill. There is a nice park here and many older homes. Then I headed down the south side of the building back to Main Street. From here I walked a few blocks to a bridge over the Rock River for some more pictures. Then it was back to the car (my old 2002 Toyota Corolla on its last courthouse visit) for the drive home.
