Adelaide Street Court House, Courthouse in St Lawrence neighborhood, Toronto, Canada
The Adelaide Street Court House at 57 Adelaide Street East features Classical Revival architecture with four pilasters flanking the entrance and white brick construction.
Between 1852 and 1900, the courthouse held numerous legal proceedings, including the trial of James Brown that led to Toronto's final public execution in 1862.
The Arts and Letters Club occupied the upper floor from 1910 to 1920, providing a meeting space where Canadian artists, including Group of Seven members, gathered.
The building now houses Terroni restaurant across four floors, offering Southern Italian cuisine in a repurposed heritage structure designated under Ontario's Heritage Act.
The courthouse walls reveal historical graffiti from 1897, with the phrase 'Long Live Anarchy' scratched above the front entrance during a period of building neglect.
