History

Court was originally held in a canvas structure erected at E and Third in 1850, containing a single room 20 by 30 feet (6.1 by 9.1 m) in size, and a second story used as a Masonic hall. The Court of Sessions appropriated US$6,000(equivalent to $227,000 in 2024) to purchase the St. Charles Hotel at D and Third, allocating an additional US$500 to repair it with canvas partitions. [3] : 235  A permanent courthouse was completed in 1855, modeled after the United States Army Corps of Engineers logo, at D and Sixth with an estimated cost of US$45,000(equivalent to $1,519,000 in 2024). [3] : 235  The 1855 courthouse was replaced by a new facility in 1962 and demolished in 1963. [4]

Court is currently held in the 1962 building.
