Inscription. Completed in 1833, the United Counties Courthouse and Jail serve as a local hub for government and legal proceedings. Initially a two-storey frame structure was completed on this site in 1802 and remained until fire swept through it in 1826. It was replaced by the main block of the present building, which is one of the province's oldest remaining public structures. It serves as the seat of the government for the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry and continues to house a courtroom and administrative offices for the municipality.
