Old Passaic County Courthouse and Annex

Original US Post Office and Courthouse Annex

The Old Passaic County Court House and Annex are located at 71 and 63-65 Hamilton Street, respectively.^[5] ^[6] The Passaic County Court House was constructed between 1898 and 1903. It was designed by architect Samuel Burrage Reed and is an excellent example of Classical Revival architecture. The Court House Annex was constructed in 1899 as the United States Post Office following a design of architect Fred Wesley Wentworth in the Dutch Baroque Revival style. The county acquired the building in 1936 and the building was re-dedicated as the Passaic County Administration Building and annexed to the adjacent county court house.

In October 2012, the buildings were determined to be eligible for the state and federal registers of historic places. The New Jersey State historic preservation office made a grant of $20,000 to prepare nominations for listing.^[6] The main entrance of the old courthouse which had fallen into disrepair was restored, reopening in 2014.^[7] They were listed in 2015.^[4]
