Court House

In 1869, the Connecticut General Assembly passed an act giving the town of Norwich and the county of New London power to combine to erect a building for town, city and county purposes. This building would include a courthouse and would be financed by the town of Norwich and New London County. After almost three years of construction, a portion of the building was opened in 1873 when the first session of the Superior Court was held on November 11th.

The building stood at the junction of Broadway and Union Streets, facing Otis Square... The total cost for the building was approximately $350,000. jud.ct.gov
