The Judiciary Pyramid of Mississippi
According to 30 seconds of extensive internet research, it took 30 years to build an Egyptian pyramid. 
The Mississippi Supreme Court building is on that kind of pace. That, or it's cursed.
Here are a couple of blackberry quality photos of scaffolding going up at the Court late last week:

My office has been half a block North of the Court for 9 years. There has been construction going on for all 9 years. I don't think that I can remember everything that they've done. They built the new building behind the dump that was the old Supreme Court building. Decorum prohibits me from stating what the old building looked like.
Then…they didn't move in for years. I heard that there weren't funds budgeted to finish the inside of the building. After a few years, they finished the inside of the building and the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals and supporting cast moved in. Then they tore down the the old building. Then the sprinklers went off in the new building and it flooded. Back came the construction crews.
Next, they tore down the old parking garage. The old garage complex made the old building look like a palace. Recently, they finished the grass lawn East of the Court building. That opened everything up between North Congress and the Capital. It looks great.
For months I've been driving down George Street and hoping to not see construction workers in the area. And now this. Scaffolding going up. Apparently, the only job in Mississippi more secure than an Article III judge is a position on the Supreme Court construction crew.
I was in there last week and asked about the scaffolding (I thought, in view of the past problems, i.e. flooding from either sprinklers or rain, that they were now having to prop it up). They are pressure washing it in preparation for the grand opening or some similarly-titled event.
