Binghamton's Lady Justice gets her scales back
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Lady Justice atop the Broome County Courthouse is getting her scales back.
KB Services, a local commercial and residential roofing company, is reattaching the scales to the statue of Lady Justice that is on top of the domed courthouse in downtown Binghamton. The scales fell off sometime ago, and had to be repaired and strengthened before being put back.
KB also had to find a boom large enough to lift its workers up to the statue. Lady Justice has long been a symbol of the law, typically holding a scale to represent the weighing of evidence and a sword for the power to enforce justice. However, most images of Lady Justice show her blindfolded to indicate impartiality, but this Lady Justice does not wear one.
The statue dates back to the construction of the courthouse in 1898.
