Dunedin Law Courts

They are located at the corner of Lower Stuart Street and Anzac Square, directly opposite the city's historic railway station.

[1] The Law Courts building was one of the first major works to be designed by Government architect John Campbell, and was built in 1901–02[2] at a cost of £20,000 and opened in April 1902.

[3] The Law Courts are located alongside the former Dunedin Central Police Station, another Campbell building, though in a completely different style.

The main entrance to the court sits at the foot of a short tower which is decorated with an un-blindfolded statue of Justice in Italian white marble.

One of the city's most historic public houses and hostelries, the Law Courts Hotel, is located close to the courts in Lower Stuart Street, in a large Art Deco building (also listed by the Historic Places Trust, Category II)[6] directly opposite the Allied Press Building (the offices of the city's main newspaper, the Otago Daily Times).

The Law Courts building was completed in 1902. It continues to be used as a court today.
