Miami Courthouse Closed..."Smells" Like the Cook County Recorder of Deeds

The Miami courthouse situation reported yesterday...

A federal judge has closed portions of Miami's historic downtown courthouse after a report identified widespread mold infestation and ongoing water leaks, with one part of the basement termed "disgusting" by inspectors.

got me thinking about the basement of the Cook County Recorder located in City Hall in downtown Chicago. That place reeks! I don't get down there a lot but occasionally I'll combine trips to Daley Center with recording something or doing a quick title search over there. All I can say is hold your breath once you go down to the basement.
