The Somerset County Courthouse is located in Somerville, the county seat Somerset County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
Constructed in between 1907 and 1909 in the Neo-classical style Palladian style and is faced with Sylacauga marble. It had once been considered for demolition for not being large enough to accommodate the growing county. A much larger, modern masonry and glass structure behind it (left side of photo), now serves its judicial functions. The courthouse underwent a $6 million renovation between 1989 and 1996.
