Broome County Courthouse

Broome County Courthouse is a county courthouse in Binghamton featuring a prominent copper dome crowning a two-and-a-half-story structure set on a raised foundation shaped like a Latin cross. The building contains courtrooms and administrative offices needed for judicial and governmental operations across the county.

Construction of the building took place between 1897 and 1898, establishing it as a center of judicial and county operations. A south wing addition completed in 1916 transformed the original T-shaped layout into a full cross configuration.

The building displays Classical Revival design elements that serve as a focal point for Binghamton's Court Street Historic District. Visitors notice how the structure anchors this neighborhood and draws people to the area.

The building sits in a walkable central location in Binghamton with easy access for visitors and those conducting legal business. The surrounding area offers parking and nearby services, making it convenient to visit the courthouse.

The building earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, recognizing its importance as an example of late-19th-century civic architecture. This designation helps protect the structure's character and integrity for the future.
