The first Utica school, courthouse and town hall were all constructed in 1818. A new courthouse on John Street was built to the rear of the old one in 1851. This Neoclassical house of justice was constructed in 1909 over the objections of the County Board of Supervisors which had to be defeated in court to obtain the necessary one million dollars for its completion. The Oneida County Courthouse originally featured Ionic column-supported pediments at either end but they have been removed to expose more of the Palladian windows that march across the facade.
