Richmond County Courthouse (Staten Island, New York) : ウィキペディア英語版
Richmond County Courthouse (Staten Island)

The Richmond County Courthouse is a 1919 municipal courthouse in the civic center of St. George in the borough of Staten Island in New York City (Richmond County is coextensive with Staten Island). The neoclassical style courthouse is on Richmond Terrace next to Staten Island's Borough Hall and across the street from the Staten Island Ferry terminal.
The building houses the criminal part and some civil parts of State Supreme Court for the state's 13th Judicial District, as well as the office of that court's administrative judge. Richmond County Surrogate's Court is also located in the building.〔(Supreme Court, 13th Judicial District ), accessed July 7, 2011〕
==History==
Construction of the Richmond County Courthouse was begun on December 27, 1913, but was delayed by the advent of World War I. The building finally opened on November 3, 1919, to replace the 1837 Third County Courthouse several miles away.〔Philip Klingle, (Supreme Court, 13th Judicial District – History ), accessed July 7, 2011〕
In 1919 the building housed one Supreme Court justice and one Surrogate who also acted as a justice of City Court, as well as the County Clerk and the District Attorney. County records were placed in the building and a law library was established the following year. The District Attorney moved out in 1979. The County Clerk, with the county records, moved across the street to 130 Stuyvesant Place in 1999, with the law library following in 2000.〔
Designed by the well-known architectural firm of Carrere and Hastings, who had earlier designed the neighboring 1906 Borough Hall, the building's architectural style has been variously described as Roman-inspired neoclassical,〔(Staten Island Supreme Courthouse ), DCAS Managed Public Buildings, accessed July 7, 2011〕 or Renaissance Revival with a Greek Revival portico.〔 The L-shaped building is built on a hill sloping upwards from the harbor and shares the block with Borough Hall, from which it is separated on its front or harbor side by a formal French garden. A sweeping flight of stairs leads up from Richmond Terrace to a temple front pediment supported by six large Corinthian columns.〔
The building is a New York City Landmark〔(Landmark designation )〕 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
