Arlington
_Arlington County is a county in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The land that became Arlington was originally donated by Virginia to United States government to form part of the new federal capital district. On February 27, 1801, the United States Congress organized the area as a subdivison of the District of Columbia names Alexandria County. In 1846, Congress returned the land donated by Virginia due to issues involving Congressional representation and the abolition of slavery. The General Assembly of Virgina changed the county's name to Arlington in 1920 to avoid confusion with the adjacent City of Alexandria.
Most courthouses have a distinct architecture which embodies the ideals of truth and justice. Columns are a fundamental structure in ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The columns on the Maycomb County Courthouse were all that remained of the original courthouse that had been burned down in 1856. Scout says they reminded her of Arlington, because they didn't match the roof they were holing up. The columns date back to pre-civil war days and they symbolize the glory days of the south, the days when blacks had been slaves. They attempt to preserve the columns of the old courthouse also symbolizes the desire of the people of Maycomb to hold on to the past, even when the past was useless or not needed any more, just as the columns were not needed to hold up the court house.
