| The
sixth and present Hamilton County courthouse stands at the
corner of Central Parkway and Main Street and was dedicated
on October 18,
1919. The exterior remains essentially
unchanged
to this
day,
but
there have been interior renovations and new courtrooms. It
is made of New Hampshire granite and Bedford limestone in a
Renaissance Revival style of architecture. Like the courthouses
of 1853 and 1887, the building is elevated on a one-story base
set at grade-level. Three main tiers are grouped together by
a row of Corinthian columns. Currently, since security was
increased in 1996, the public entrance is one of three wide-arched
doorways featuring polished, wrought bronze doors facing the
Main Street entrance.
