this page online
The former Halton County Courthouse and Jail property at 43 Brown Street is an example of elaborate Baronial Gothic Architecture. The castellated design is one of only three examples of this particular mode in the Province of Ontario.
Designed by the firm of Clark and Murray, and built between 1854 and 1855 by Michael Kenney, the building served as the first Seat of Government for the County of Halton.
