New York County Courthouse, County courthouse in Foley Square, Manhattan, US
The hexagonal granite building rises above Centre Street with sixteen Corinthian columns forming a colonnade at the top of a 32-step staircase.
Construction started in 1919 after architect Guy Lowell modified the initial circular design due to World War I constraints, with completion occurring in February 1927.
The central rotunda contains the mural 'Law Through the Ages' by Attilio Pusterla, depicting significant legal figures throughout history beneath a 75-foot cupola.
The building at 60 Centre Street houses the Civil and Appellate Terms of the New York State Supreme Court for the First Judicial District.
The triangular pediment features thirteen granite figures representing Law, Truth, and Equity, along with an inscription from George Washington about justice.
