Darlinghurst Courthouse, Greek Revival courthouse in Darlinghurst, Australia
The sandstone courthouse features fluted Doric columns and a portico supporting a gabled entrance, forming an architectural centerpiece on Oxford Street.
Construction began in 1835 under Colonial Architect Mortimer Lewis, establishing the first purpose-built courthouse in New South Wales, completed in 1844.
The building represents early colonial legal architecture and became a model for courthouse designs throughout New South Wales for six decades.
The courthouse contains seven court rooms, jury facilities, judge chambers, and administrative offices, primarily serving the Supreme Court of New South Wales.
Prior to its completion, the building hosted community functions including church services and the town's St Patrick's Ball in 1840.
