Welcome to Albury's Old Courthouse situated in the heart of Dean Street, amongst well preserved & stunning historic buidlings.
The Old courthouse was designed by Colonial Architect, Alexander Dawson & was completed in 1860 and was built by Mr. Thomas Allen, of Albury, who used local grey granite for the Palladian-style facade.
It retains an iron-railed dock, painted coat of arms above the bench and a Press gallery on which journalists have traditionally carved their names. John Roper (a member of Leichhardt's 1844 expedition) was the first Clerk of Petty Sessions in 1847.
The Old Courthouse is classified by the National Trust.
As you stand in front admiring the courthouse, to the left you will see the Post Office on the courner of Dean & Kiewa Streets which was built in 1875 by local builder, Alexander Frew.
To the right of the Old Courthouse is the former Albury Town Hall which is now the Regional Art Gallery.
Built by local artisans, this is a good example of the federation free Classical style of Town Hall which was built at a time when the district was beginning to boom after harsh times at the beginning of the 20th century.
There are a number of memorial plaques and information attached to the surrounding buildings which are worth a wander past.
