A 110 old courthouse,, expanded from the remains from a 1870s courthouse that was destroyed in a fire. Lots of architectural details inside and out you don't find anymore, The highlight is the gigantic courtroom on the third floor, double height with stained glass comprising half the ceiling. Has been appreciated numerous times for movie and television film shoots, including Cecil B. De mill's Manslauguter, and Alfred Hitchcock's The Wrong Man,
Beautiful building rightfully designated as a New York City landmark. Came across the building while walking around the Court Square neighborhood of Queens.
Beautiful building the outside is unkempt. Over flowing garbage pails is unpleasant to look at.
The Long Island City Courthouse complex is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and was designated a New York City landmark in 1976.
In its remodeling the building was raised from two stories to four stories in order to accommodate the needs of the court. The courthouse is designed in what has been variously described as a Neo-English Renaissance, neoclassical, or Beaux Artsarchitectural style and is made of stone, ceramic tile, limestone, and metal. Two jails were formerly part of the complex, but were replaced by a parking garagein 1988. The parking structure was designed by Chicago-based architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.
It's a nice looking building with a tiny park containing a wide fountain. It's not exactly a well manicured, well maintained kind of park, so a little splash in the fountain has never gotten us kicked out.
