The Old Cape May County Courthouse Building is located on North Main Street (U.S. Route 9) in the Cape May Court House section of Middle Township in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. The historic courthouse was completed in 1850 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 1981, for its significance in architecture and politics/government.[1][3] It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1992.[4]
The Georgian courthouse was designed and built from 1848 to 1850 by the master builder/architect Daniel Hand and features a Greek Revival interior. Hand also designed the New Asbury Methodist Episcopal Meeting House and the Calvary Baptist Church. It was replaced by the Cape May County Courthouse in 1927.[3]
