Statement of Significance

The former Avenel Court House was erected in 1876 by the Public Works Department. The design of the building was prepared by H A Williams, the Public Works Department architect for the North-Eastern area. The contractor was J Hilet.
The building is a typical example of mid-nineteenth century provincial court house design, with its simple gabled form expressing the main court room, flanking offices and verandah across the entrance facade. The simple decoration around the gable and verandah enhances the building's form and is a notable feature.
