1. Court House / Le Palais de Justice Marker
Inscription. [English] In 1912 the Proclamation declaring Haileybury as the District Seat gave rise to such structures as the Court House, Land Registry Office and District Jail. The proclamation was largely due to the dreams and efforts of the founder of the community, C.C. Farr. Both the Court House and the Land Registry Office burned in The Great Fire of 1922. Rebuilt in 1923, the Court House stands as the exact replica of its destroyed predecessor.

[Francais] Par suite de la proclamation en 1912 de Haileybury comme chef-lieu du district, le Palais de Justice, le bureau d'enregistrement immobilier et la prison du district, ont été érigés. C'était là l'aboutissement des rêves et des efforts du fondateur de la ville C.C. Farr. Le Palais de Justice et le Bureau des titres sont partis en fumée lors du Grand Feu de 1922. Reconstruit en 1923, le Palais de Justice sera la réplique exacte de l'édifice précédent.
