1841 Goshen Courthouse, Greek Revival courthouse in Goshen, United States
The 1841 Goshen Courthouse features symmetrical columns and pediments along Main Street at the center of Orange County's administrative district.
The construction of this judicial building, approved by county legislators in April 1841, was designed by architect Thornton M. Niven to mirror his Newburgh courthouse.
Local legends mention that during construction workers discovered remains of Revolutionary War figure Claudius Smith, with his skull purportedly placed in the masonry above the entrance.
The courthouse served judicial functions until 1970 and currently houses offices of the Orange County Department of Consumer Affairs with restricted public access.
Following damage to the Orange County Government Center from Hurricane Irene in 2011, three Supreme Court judges temporarily relocated their proceedings to this historic building.
