Summary

[edit]
Description

The New York County Courthouse facing Foley Square in lower Manhattan in New York City houses the Civil Term and the Appellate Term of New York State Supreme Court for the state's First Judicial District, which is coextensive with Manhattan, as well as offices of the County Clerk. The granite-faced hexagonal building, at 60 Centre Street, was designed by Guy Lowell of Boston in classical Roman style and opened in 1927. A broad set of steps sweeps up from Foley Square to a massive Corinthian colonnade covering most of the front of the courthouse, topped by an elaborate 140-foot-long (43 m) triangular pediment of thirteen figures carved in bas relief from granite.[1] The pediment and acroteria by Frederick Warren Allen include three statues: Law, Truth and Equity. A frieze bears the inscription "The True Administration of Justice is the Firmest Pillar of Good Government", a 1789 quotation attributed to George Washington. Its mass and scale give the building the appearance of a temple.
