Sussex County Courthouse

The Sussex County Courthouse is a county courthouse in Newton featuring Greek Revival style with symmetrical facades and dominant white columns. The building occupies a central position near the town center and houses multiple courtrooms and administrative offices.

The building was constructed in the 19th century and later added to the National Register of Historic Places. Its recognition reflects its architectural significance and importance to regional judicial history.

The building remains a place where the community conducts court proceedings and official matters. People encounter it as a symbol of local governance when they have legal business to handle.

The building is accessible through main entrances on High Street, with parking available at the nearby municipal lot. Keep in mind this is an active courthouse, so certain areas may be restricted or closed during specific times.

The building is designed to house two separate court systems under one roof: one for Newton and one for Green Township, each maintaining independent administrative operations. This arrangement shows how legal jurisdictions can function together while preserving their distinct identities.
