Rossland Courthouse - Rossland, BC - Doorways of the World on Waymarking.com

The entrance to the Rossland Courthouse is appropriately impressive and dignified for what is probably the most important door in town. It is a double oak door with stained glass windows above, a rusticated granite arch and terra cotta artwork above and to the sides. The entirety is set in a yellow brick frame, which itself is set in a setback brick wall.

Rossland’s third courthouse since 1894 was completed in 1901 at a cost of $53,000. Designed by John J. Honeyman, a Scot who made his home in Rossland, the building characterizes late Victorian architecture with its symmetrical corner towers, highly pitched roof and almost fortress-like appearance. Exquisite woodwork and a large stained glass window dominate and dignify the courtroom. The large granite blocks which support the building were taken from a city quarry. In 1986 it was granted National Heritage status. The building is also a Britich Columbia Heritage Site.
