New Castle County Court House - New Castle, DE - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"New Castle County Court House, also known as New Castle Courthouse, is the center of a circle with a 12-mile radius that defines parts of the border of the states of Delaware and Pennsylvania. It is one of the oldest courthouses in the United States.

The building known today as the "Old Court House" was built in sections during three centuries of colonial and federal government. Prior to the Revolution it served as the meeting house for the governments of the three counties comprising Delaware. For one year (1776-1777) it served as the state house of Delaware. Thence it became the New Castle County courthouse for three centuries. An occasional court held there serves to keep alive the claim that this building is the oldest continuously used chamber of justice in the United States." (visit link)
