Court of Final Appeal Building, Neoclassical judicial building in Central, Hong Kong.
The Court of Final Appeal Building stands with granite walls, Ionic columns, and a prominent statue of Themis at its summit measuring 2.7 meters.
The structure, completed in 1912, served as the Supreme Court until 1983, then housed the Legislative Council from 1985 to 2011 before becoming the Court of Final Appeal.
The building incorporates British architectural elements, including a pediment adorned with the royal coat of arms supported by a lion and unicorn motifs.
The three-story building at 8 Jackson Road occupies 2,660 square meters of space between Statue Square and Chater Garden in the financial district.
The foundation rests on Chinese fir tree trunks driven into reclaimed materials, creating a floating effect maintained by a groundwater replenishment system.
