St. John's Court House
St. John's Court House, National historic courthouse on Water Street, St. John's, Canada.
The St. John's Court House stands as a grand Romanesque Revival building constructed of granite and sandstone, featuring a prominent clock tower and arched entrances.
Built between 1901 and 1904, this fourth courthouse replaced three previous structures that were destroyed, with its cornerstone laid by the future King George V.
The building represents judicial authority in Newfoundland through its architectural elements, including dark oak trim, mosaic-tile floors, and formal courtroom spaces.
The courthouse provides access from both Water Street and Duckworth Street levels, with multiple floors housing various judicial functions and administrative offices.
The structure rises dramatically on its hillside location, presenting three stories on Duckworth Street and six stories when viewed from Water Street.
