New York City Off The Beaten Path: 978 reviews and 1,267 photos
The New York County Courthouse overlooks Foley Square and is located between Worth and Pearl Streets. The official address is 60 Centre Street. The building houses the Supreme Court and the Office of the County Clerk. The courthouse was the first major New York commission for the well-known Boston architect Guy Lowell (1870-1927). Work began on it in 1919 and completed in 1925. The courthouse rises above a 100-foot wide flight of steps to an imposing colonnade of 10 granite fluted Corinthian columns. Above the columns are engraved words of George Washington: "The true administration of justice is the firmest pillar of good government."
