The Face in the Courthouse Window

The legend of "The Face in the Courthouse Window" has been a staple for many Alabamaians growing up. Now, with the help of a couple Alabama grads, the legend was brought to the stage. Barry Bradford spent a couple days in Carrollton combing through newspapers to research the legend of Henry Wells. Now it is all a part of his play that portrays his story to best Bradford could.


The play is all a part of a partnership with the Pickens County Courthouse Preservation Foundation and the First National Bank of Central Alabama to help the Preservation Foundation raise the funds needed for an elevator.

"The courtroom that they were using upstairs," said Betty Pate with the Foundation, "If you saw the stairs, they are difficult for anybody for handicapped."

The goal of the Foundation is to bring the history of the Courthouse to the public's knowledge so that it can be perserved and brought back to it's former glory.
