The Brennan Court House
In 1893, Hugh Roberts, a Jersey
City architect, designed the courthouse to be the cathedral
of justice in Hudson County. Constructed of granite, taken
from quarries at Hallowell, Maine, and trimmed with copper
plates and bronze lanterns, the courthouse was designed
in a style described as Beaux Arts or Modern Renaissance.
Towering Corinthian pillars, ornate balconies, and carved
ornamental scrolls, and lion heads all produce an impression
of dignity and elegance. Engraved over the main entrance
are the words, “Precedent Makes Law: If You Stand
Well, Stand Still”.
