It is made of New Hampshire granite and Bedford limestone in a Renaissance Revival style of architecture. Three main tiers are grouped together by a row of Corinthian columns. Currently, since security was increased in 1996, the public entrance is one of three wide-arched doorways featuring polished, wrought bronze doors facing the Main Street entrance. The Law Library is on the sixth floor of this courthouse, extending almost the width of the building. Its main reading room is flanked by six pairs of polished marble columns extending fifteen feet to cornice stained glass windows bearing the names of the Library s founders and others important the history of the law.
Tradition is well represented by archival and historical materials.
The Law Library catalog is available on computer, both in the Law Library and on the World Wide Web. The Law Library has continued to benefit from the contributions of members, in their dues by their service on the Board of Trustees and by donations.
