A second phase to repair and clean the limestone from the cornice down will cost $725,000, and repairing and cleaning the granite will cost about $50,000. Waterproofing the underground tunnel that connects the City-County Building to the Courthouse beneath the north-side steps could cost an additional $125,000.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]\u00c2\u00a0An inspection of the exterior of the 107-year-old building revealed it is in no worse shape than a building its age should be. But water is leaking into the building, and Courthouse watchdogs don&#8217;t want to risk damaging the $8.6 million worth of repairs and renovations already completed inside, said Madelane Elston, president of the preservation trust board.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]\u00c2\u00a0Previous repairs to the mortar between the large limestone slabs damaged the stone. The county tapped masonry experts to help decide what type of mortar should be used this time, and officials didn&#8217;t want to approach the council for money until they had all the information needed to go to bid, Elston said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The commissioners set aside $256,000 for the project. But most of that money has been spent on the study and related engineering. The remainder was used to buy voting machines, commissioners&#8217; spokesman Mike Green said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/hs-belmont-beverage\/17732.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Belmont Beverage store at the corner of West Jefferson Boulevard and South Harrison Street shortly before demolition to make way for the Harrison Square project.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='3c072e6b9a7c9adf74eeb61d5edac7ef' data-image-id=\"1298\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/hs-belmont-beverage\/17732.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/hs-belmont-beverage\/thumbs\/thumbs_17732.jpg\" data-title=\"Belmont Beverage\" data-description=\"The Belmont Beverage store at the corner of West Jefferson Boulevard and South Harrison Street shortly before demolition to make way for the Harrison Square project.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Belmont Beverage\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Belmont Beverage\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"1298\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/hs-belmont-beverage\/thumbs\/thumbs_17732.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/hs-belmont-beverage\/19360.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Belmont Beverage store at the corner of West Jefferson Boulevard and South Harrison Street shortly before demolition to make way for the Harrison Square project.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='3c072e6b9a7c9adf74eeb61d5edac7ef' data-image-id=\"1321\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/hs-belmont-beverage\/19360.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/hs-belmont-beverage\/thumbs\/thumbs_19360.jpg\" data-title=\"Belmont Beverage\" data-description=\"The Belmont Beverage store at the corner of West Jefferson Boulevard and South Harrison Street shortly before demolition to make way for the Harrison Square project.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Belmont Beverage\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Belmont Beverage\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"1321\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/hs-belmont-beverage\/thumbs\/thumbs_19360.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/lincoln-tower\/51667.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Lincoln Tower at sunset on May 25, 2008.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='3c072e6b9a7c9adf74eeb61d5edac7ef' data-image-id=\"1537\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/lincoln-tower\/51667.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/lincoln-tower\/thumbs\/thumbs_51667.jpg\" data-title=\"Sunset\" data-description=\"The Lincoln Tower at sunset on May 25, 2008.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Sunset\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Sunset\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"1537\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/lincoln-tower\/thumbs\/thumbs_51667.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/fwfd\/84941.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"A Clara Avenue garage fire, visible from the Lincoln Tower Observation Deck.
