The Essex County Court House in Newark, New Jersey, stands behind a landscaped plaza with patterned walks and a small monument in the foreground. The Neoclassical building has a columned portico, a pediment, and an American flag flying from the roof.
The courthouse was part of Newark's civic center in the early 20th century, when the city was a busy industrial and commercial hub. It served as the county's main courthouse and remains a landmark in the city's civic district.
