MERCER COUNTY COURT HOUSE

“Soon after the formation of Mercer County in 1838, steps were taken for the erection of a courthouse. Built at the corner of Broad and Market Streets, the original Greek Revival structure served the public until 1903. Trenton and Mercer County had grown enormously since its founding, and the current grand, classical Beaux Arts structure was built to accommodate this growth. This impressive sandstone building, with its pediments, columns and arches, occupies an important downtown gateway. Not only a Trenton Landmark, the Court House is perhaps one of the best known buildings in Mercer County. Still in daily use, the building is in dire need of restoration.” – Trenton Historical Society
