Harbour Grace offered to buy the current court building and lease it to the province, but that was turned down by Minister Andrew Parsons.
The Court is Newfoundland and Labrador’s oldest public building. It was built in 1830 with local donations. Named a National Historic Site in 1966, the classically-inspired building, is comprised of a court, jail and jailor’s residence.
