History
The building, together with the Kent County Courthouse, was designed by Canadian architect William Thomas. The Neoclassical limestone building was completed in 1850, and features a balustraded balcony, a prominent pediment and a crowning cupola.[2] While it was being built, the future Canadian Prime Minister Alexander Mackenzie worked on its construction as a stone mason.[3] The court is no longer in use.

gollark: Well, yes, you can to some extent, for base investment in mods.
