Architects Hazelhurst and Huckel of Philadelphia turned to the burly Richardsonian Romanesque style, popular in late 19th century municipal buildings, for the new Gloucester County courthouse in 1885. The building features Trenton brownstone and Dauphin County trim. The Colonial-style central clock tower soars 90 feet above the surrounding streetscape. The courthouse it replaced on the main intersection in town was a Colonial brick structure that had stood since 1787.
