Description:
It stands at the corner of Main and Court Streets, a symbol of a justice system that has served the residents of Hunterdon County since 1714. The historic Hunterdon County Court House in Flemington remains today a majestic statement of the importance of the rule of law.
Built in 1828, the Court House was intended to be a "temple of justice." Its Greek revival style, high stone foundation and round, classical columns created the impression of an ancient Greek temple. Even the bell in its octagonal, framed cupola signified the importance of the business within. Its peal was used to announce the holding of court and a jury reaching a verdict.
