Summary

Description
English: This Court House building was built between 1890 and 1892, and was located on the corner of Front and D Streets (Broadway). Architects Nelson Comstock and Carl Trotsche were originally commissioned by the Board of Supervisors in 1889 to design wings to the existing court house, but it was determined that the structure would not support the weight. Consequently, the old structure was demolished and a completely new structure was designed in the Italianate Style. Completed in 1892, the building served as Superior Court and also housed the County’s administrative offices. It was demolished in 1961 to make way for another Court House. In 1996 the Hall Of Justice was completed, across the street from the 1961 Court House. It contains the original stained glass windows, one for each State in the Union in 1890. The Statue of Justice, above the clock, is currently housed in the Museum of San Diego History Atrium.
