Rossland's 112 year old courthouse was tastefully decorated with several pieces of terra cotta frieze art, scattered throughout the exterior of the building. They include a pair of medallions above the main entrance and many panels, some single, some multiple, of stylized flowers and other flora.
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.
