Inscription
Opened about 1858, this building is the earliest surviving New Brunswick court house constructed of brick. It represents the beginning of the trend toward the widespread use of brick and stone in public buildings in the province. County court houses were important symbols of colonial authority in New Brunswick where magistrates both administered justice and supervised local affairs. The building was designed to house a market on the ground floor, with court rooms situated above. This structure is unique among extant court houses in the Maritimes in its amalgamation of market and court uses under one roof.
Inauguré vers 1858, cet édifice est le plus ancien palais de justice construit en briques à subsister au Nouveau-Brunswick. Il marque le début de la mode des matériaux durs pour la construction des édifices publics de la province. Les palais de justice de comté constituaient d'importants symboles du pouvoir colonial, puisque la magistrature chargée de rendre la justice et de surveiller les affaires locales y siégeait. Ce bâtiment abritait un marché au rez-de-chaussée et
un tribunal à l'étage. C'est le seul édifice encore existant dans les Maritimes à avoir été conçu pour cette double fonction.
