Inverell Court House was designed by colonial architect J Barnet & court proceedings began in 1887. It is an impressive example of Victorian Italianate architecture and features many fine details, including round arched windows with key stone mouldings and an oversized clock tower.
The scale and grandeur of Inverell Courthouse is symbolic of the growing importance of regional towns during the nineteenth century due to expansions in mining and agriculture. Inverell Courthouse is a landmark building in the town and an important element of the town's civic precinct.
