Newcastle Court House, Heritage courthouse in Newcastle, Australia
The Newcastle Court House stands at 343 Hunter Street, featuring a Victorian Italianate design with a symmetrical layout and an arched tower entrance.
The Colonial Architect James Barnet designed this legal building, completed in 1892 for £14,798, replacing an 1841 structure that no longer met requirements.
This former courthouse represents the architectural standards of late 19th-century civic buildings in New South Wales through its rendered brick and cement details.
The building at Church Street now functions as an offshore campus for Nihon University after its sale in December 2016 for 6.6 million Australian dollars.
The structure includes specific architectural elements such as single-storey wing buildings flanking a central Court Room with detailed cement moldings.
