Hampden County Courthouse
Hampden County Courthouse, County courthouse in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The Hampden County Courthouse features an I-shaped design with tall windows and a bell tower, constructed using light gray Monson granite laid in random ashlar masonry.
Following the inadequacy of the previous courthouse from 1822, construction of the current building began in 1871 and concluded with a dedication ceremony in 1874.
The courthouse reflects the architectural influence of Henry Hobson Richardson, who incorporated elements of Romanesque style in the public building's design.
Located at 50 State Street in Springfield, the courthouse operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and offers paid parking in nearby garages.
The building underwent significant expansion between 1908 and 1912, during which the original sloping roof and high dormers were removed from Richardson's initial design.
