DescriptionThe Hudson County Courthouse, designed by architect Hugh Roberts, was built in 1910. Its design is Renaissance Revival with a copper cupola that supports a victory torch crowning the structure. The interior is largely marble with a bronze great seal of the State of New Jersey. It closed in 1966 and sat unused until 1985 when it was restored and renamed the William J. Brennan Courthouse. Its position on a small hill at 575 Newark Avenue (a few blocks east of Journal Square) adds an air of majesty to this historic building.
