Statement of Significance

The former Euroa Court House, constructed in 1892, was designed by JT Kelleher and shows the clear influence of AJ Macdonald, both of the Public Works Department. The building is an outstanding and essentially intact example of a small number of buildings designed at a time when the Public Works Department was experimenting with new styles while exploring the idea of a uniquely Australian architecture. The former Euroa Court House is one of a group of buildings responding to the American Romanesque of the late nineteenth century. Other related buildings from this period are Euroa and South Yarra Post Offices; Flemington and Omeo Court Houses.

The former Euroa Court House is essentially intact and retains a substantial part of its purpose built furniture including witness box, prisoner's dock, clerk of court's bench and judicial bench.
