Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Built in 1876-1878, this Second Empire and Renaissance Revival-style courthouse was designed by H. E. Myer, and replaced a previous courthouse on the site that was destroyed by fire in 1876. The building features a mansard roof, rusticated stone exterior, limestone trim, bracketed cornices, oval dormers with oxeye windows, stone pilasters at the corners and between bays on the building’s facade, a rusticated stone base, windows on the second floor with circular rose transoms, double-hung windows, a central tower with a golden dome atop the roof and four clock faces on dormers around the dome, an octagonal top, and a wrought iron flagpole and weathervane at the top, pilasters on the sides of the tower separating bays with arched louvers and oxeye windows, and a cornice with modillions. On each facade of the courthouse, there is a central projecting bay with a gabled roof topped with a sculpture, with paired pilasters framing centrally placed bays on each floor with the top bay having “1876” carved on a stone panel, a double window with a complex arched transom, and double entry doors on the first floor with arched transoms and stone trim surrounds, with one-story doric porticoes at each doorway with paired doric columns and pilasters, a rooftop parapet with urns above the columns, and wrought iron railings. The courthouse is surrounded by a landscaped park-like square with a walkway ringing the building, a parking lot at the northeast corner of the building, and multiple monuments adorning the square. The courthouse remains in use for some county court functions, though many government functions have moved to other buildings in Downtown Newark due to the increase in the county’s population and the size of the local government since it was built in the 19th Century. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and is a contributing structure in the Newark Downtown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. |
