Sadly, the colorful Justice Through The Ages mural at the soon-to-be-demolished Colorado State Judicial Building will not be finding a new home anywhere after all. A few weeks ago we reported that it had been discovered that the mural had been painted on asbestos panels and that its future was in doubt.

Both buildings are being cleared for the new Ralph Carr Colorado Judicial Complex, which will occupy the entire block and look like this:
The new state judicial complex is scheduled for a 2013 opening.
