Third County Courthouse (Staten Island) facts for kids
The Third County Courthouse is an 1837 Greek Revival building at 302 Center Street in Historic Richmond Town, near the geographic center of Staten Island, New York. Preceded by two smaller courthouses, it was the Richmond County Courthouse during most of the nineteenth century and was in use until 1919, when it was replaced by the Richmond County Courthouse in St. George.
The building is the oldest extant structure in New York City built primarily as a courthouse. A jail used to be adjacent.
