1. Charlotte County Court House Marker
The Charlotte County Court House is the best preserved example in New Brunswick of the typical mid-19th century Maritime court house. Like the Queens County Court House in Gagetown, N.B. and others in Nova Scotia, the structure reflects a vernacular building tradition, with the classical temple facade as its distinguishing feature. Built by Thomas Berry in 1839-40, the building has a royal coat of arms carved by Charles Kennedy in 1858. In the early years of its history, the court house was the focal point for community activities, such as elections, fairs, parades and official visits.
Cet édifice illustre bien les palais de justice construits dans les Maritimes au milieu du XIXe siècle. Il est celui qui est le mieux conservé au Nouveau-Brunswick. Sa façade classique dans la tradition régionale, se retrouve aussi au palais de justice du comté de Queens à Gagetown et ailleurs en Nouvelle-Écosse. Il fut construit par Thomas Berry en 1839-1840, puis orné d'armoiries sculptées par Charles Kennedy en 1858. Au début, ce palais de justice était au centre des activités de la collectivité: élections, foires, parades et visites officielles.
