Norfolk County Courthouse, Greek Revival courthouse in Dedham, USA
The Norfolk County Courthouse exhibits symmetrical proportions with granite columns, a triangular pediment, and a white facade that extends across its front elevation.
Solomon Willard designed this courthouse in 1825, establishing a foundation for judicial proceedings in Norfolk County through the following two centuries.
The building gained nationwide attention during the 1920s Sacco and Vanzetti trial, which sparked discussions about justice and immigration in American society.
Located at 650 High Street, the courthouse maintains regular operating hours from Monday through Friday and houses the Norfolk County Superior Court.
The courthouse structure incorporates fireproof construction methods from the 1820s, using specific materials and techniques to protect legal documents.
