Montgomery County Court House Historic District - Rockville, MD - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Taken from Wikipedia, "The Montgomery County Circuit Courthouses are part of the Montgomery County Judicial Center located in downtown Rockville, Maryland. The Red Brick Courthouse, located at 29 Courthouse Square, houses the refurbished Grand Courtroom; the newer Circuit Court building, located at 50 Maryland Avenue, houses the remainder of the county's justice system.

There have been four court houses in Rockville since it was established as the County seat in 1776. Court was originally held at the Hungerford Tavern until a frame court house was erected in the 1790s. By 1810, a new court house was needed. In 1835 the General Assembly authorized a new brick court house and then again in 1890, the later which was built in a Romanesque Revival style. In 1931 the grey Neoclassical style courthouse was constructed and connected to the 1890 court house to suit the county's growing population. The grey courthouse now serves as home to the District Court of Maryland for Montgomery County.

From 1927 to 1954, the lower level of the courthouse served as the headquarters of the Montgomery County Police Department."
