  • ebuild (9/5/2007)
  • The Rutherford County Courthouse, located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, has cemented its spot in American history as one of only six remaining Tennessee courthouses built before the Civil War and as one of the central points of fighting during the Civil War Battle of Murfreesboro in 1862. Constructed in 1859, the impressive two-story structure is a true survivor. As with any building approaching its sesquicentennial, regular maintenance and upkeep is vital, especially in key areas like the roof. When the Rutherford County Courthouse's second slate roof began showing too much wear and tear last year, the Rutherford County government hired Don Kennedy Roofing, of Nashville, Tennessee, to install a new roof. Wanting to provide the courthouse with the authentic look and durability of a slate roof, but at a lower cost, Don Kennedy Roofing recommended CertainTeed Centennial Slate luxury shingles in Moire Black for the 75-square historical reroof project.
