In 1835 a lottery was authorized to raise funds to replace the frame sturcture that had served as Courthouse since 1791. Construction of the building began in 1837 following the sale and relocation of the orginal courthouse to its present site on South Beford Street. The brick Hotel across the square was degignated the temporary seat of justice. Completed in 1839, the new Courthouse was designed by nationally known architect William Strickland and constructed by Layton and Sipple. A major renovation and expansion project was completed in 1969.
