Architect-builders Joseph M. Lindsley of Morristown and Lewis Carter of Chatham crafted one of New Jersey’s finest Federal-style public buildings for the Morris County courthouse when it left the center of the Green in 1827. The land cost $100. The red brick is trimmed with brownstone quarried in the neighborhood. Above the entrance is a gilded statue of Justice - it is unusual because in Morris County, justice is not blindfolded.
