From the Morris County Website:
The cornerstone for the structure, a simple brownstone block containing the date "1827", was formally laid in ceremonies in July, 1826. The tract selected for the new courthouse was two blocks from The Green, where the original two courthouses stood. Located on Washington Street, between Court Street and Western Avenue, it was purchased by the Freeholders for the sum of $100 from James Wood and his wife.
