Here once stood the original brick courthouse of Monroe County, built in 1836 when it was created out of Northampton, Pike and Wayne counties. In 1890 it was demolished, the bricks carted away and a new native sandstone courthouse in the Richardsonian Romanesque style was created by T.I. Lacey, Stroudsburg’s architect of choice. A 1934 addition to the rear mimics the building’s original features. The courthouse is on the National Register of Historic Places.
