Description of the property

The Court House is a 6 story, 15 bay by a bay granite structure, formerly freestanding.* The building is organized visually into four basic zones: basement, arcaded main floor, mezzanine, and roof area. This horizontally is countered on the main Pemberton Square facade (eastern) by strong vertical emphases in the form of three shallow central and end pavillions. The rusticated high basement of 1½ stories has paired openings: small segmental arched windows of the subsection align with recessed oblong windows above. The latter are divided at the upper third by a con- tinuous string course forming a cross pattern in the paired windows. On the longitundinal facades (Pemberton Square and Somerset Street) are round-arched portal entrances at this level. The main floor is indicated by a continuous arcade of round-headed windows separated by engaged posts with plain but vigorous moulding.

The arcade level supports a wide projecting modillion cornice above which is the mezzanine. This level contains low rectangular windows separated by projecting blocks that correspond to heads of those on the arcade level. The final continuous cornice has three shallow, wide courses. The slate mansard roof is interrupted by two levels of dormer windows: the lower level being full height are capped with alternating flat lintels and segmental pediments; the upper level are half height and round headed. On the Pemberton Square facade, the central pavillion dominates the end pavillions, although they share design elements. While the end pavillions repeat the basement and main floor fenestration pattern, the central pavillion contains the main Court House entrance, a round-headed portal set within rusticated posts.

Above, the main flooris emphasized by prodecting balconies supported on massive corbels in foliate design; again the semi-circular end balconies contrast to the square central balcony. This central balcony is reached through a three bay opening which is recessed behind paired Ionic columns and attached pilasters. At the mezzanine level, the modillion cornice breaks into triangular pediments filled with elaborate stonework on the end pavillions but is continuous at the central unit. This rhythm is reversed at the final cornice where an elaborate clock face interrupts the cornice at the central bay; the cornice continues through the end pavillions. In the mansard roof level, the central pavillion continues its three bay system for the two full stories and ends in a broken triangular pediment, which repeats the filled stone work motif.

The end pavillions are one story and end in plain triangular pediments. * A new Court House office addition was constructed on the north side in 1937. 181/19 APR 3 1974 NATIONAL REGISTER UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM STATE Mass - COUNTY (Continuation Sheet) Mumber gll ontcies) T. DESCRIPTION Suffolk FOR NPS USE ONLY ENTRY NUMBER DATE MAY 8 1974 Suffolk County Court House b Boston The southern and western (Somerset Street) facades have similar symmetrical dispositions and use the major design elements of the Pemberton Square facade. The southern facade appears far richer because of additional service entrances and connections including tall granite chimneys which break up the wall plane. As originally designed, the Court House was to have had a low roof with a high central dome.

The dome was re-designed several times and never built. When additional space was required, in 1909, two stories were added to the existing structure. To solve the problem of vertical additions to the building, a high mansard roof form was used which was interrrupted at central and corner locations by extending the existing pavillions upward. The additional floors altered the predominatly horizontal emphasis of the building. The plan of the Court House was organized according to what was known as the "German" system: the building was laid out around open courtyards which provided light and ventilation to all parts of the building. The interior of the building features a number of courtrooms, including the Probate Court, which have oak panelled woodwork and elaborate door and window enframements.

The hallways, notably the first floor east and second floor west, have marble floors and wainscotting and decorative plasterwork. The principal interior feature is the Great Cross Hall which transverses the building on its east-west axis. This hall is three stories high, with balustrated balconies opening onto the hall at the second and third floors. Because of the steep grade of the site of the Court House, the hall is in three levels. From the Pemberton Square entrance, one enters a small stairhall leading up to the Great Cross Hall. Another set of steps leads up out of this hall to a smaller longitundinal hallway and doors to Somerset Street. The central space is barrel vaulted, with coffered bands featuring egg and dart molding and rosettes in high relief. Ths coffering is repeated elsewhere in the Hall, including barrel vaults supporting the balconies.

Also supporting the 2nd floor balconies are the most distinctive decorative element of the Great Cross Hall-corbels sculpted to represent among - Cross Ha11-cCobeis are others, the figures of Justice, Law, Wisdom, Innocence, Guilt, Prudence and Fortitude. A statue of Rufus Choate by Daniel C. French is also present. Alterations to the interior of the Suffolk County Court Housenbeen mini- mal. Elevators have been installed on either side of the Great Cross Hall replacing stairways and new staircases built in the interior court- yards. GP0 921.724

Statement of significance

The Suffolk County Court House is one of several major public buildings built in Boston during the last half of the 19th century. Following in the traditional of Boston City Hall (1862-65) and the Federal Post Office (1871-1874; since destroyed), the "New Court House reflects the Victorian taste for monumental, dignified, even grandiose public buildings built in the stylistic idioms of Europe. The Court House was the major work of George A. Clough, who served as Boston's first city architect from 1874 to 1883. Among the public structures for which Clough was responsible were the Prince School in the Back Bay and the English High School and Latin High School at Montgomery Street in Boston. design competition and apparently so impressed the County Commissioners with his drawings for the Court House that they decided not to invite further competition.

Clough's design for the building, as completed in 1894, was referred to at the time as "Modern Classic" vor. "German Renais- sance" , and was an early step in the transition from Victorian styles the Classical Revival. However, when two additional floors were added in 1909, again designed by George Clough, the high Mansard roof format which was used imposed a distinctly French Empire appearance on the building-reminiscent of nearby Old City Hall. Today, the Suffolk County Court House has a strong visual relationship with both Old City Hall and King's Chapel. The construction of a high rise office tower adjacent to the Court House has opened it to view from Tremont and School Streets where the other buildings are also visible.

The color and material of the three structures are strongly similar, and the Mansard roof and classical decorative motifs of the Court House and City Hall reinforce this similarity. As originally sited, the Court House could not have been seen from Tremont or School Streets. Built so as to form the flat side of cres- cent shaped Pemberton Square, the Court House replaced and was at first framed by row structures comtemporary with the buildings of Louisburg Square. The principal approach to the Court House was from Court Street, the extension of historic State Street, located in the middle of the curved side of Pemberton Square.
