Worcester County Courthouse

(1843, 1878, 1898 and 1954).

The south wing is its oldest section, dating from 1843. A Greek revival section was added in 1878. The present Classical Revival structure was built in 1898 and designed by Andrews, Jacques, and Rantoul to incorporate the earlier structures. Their design removed the Courthouse's portico, constructed the present Main Street facade and added the copper cresting throughout. At present, the expansion of 1898-99 remains in original condition. A major addition built in 1954 across the rear of the Courthouse gave it ample frontage on Harvard Street. Architects for this were Stuart W. Briggs and Cornelius W. Buckley. This site has served as the seat of Worcester County government since the county's formation in 1731-33.
