Abstract
Description
The picture on the left is the first Hudson County Courthouse. On March 11, 1845 it opened to the public. It would eventually be replaced by the Brennan Hudson County CourtHouse in 1910.
In 1850 the Board of Freeholders decided to eliminate the cost of designing a new building by borrowing the Hudson County courthouse architectural plans.
Hudson County provided their architectural plans with the provision that they be returned upon completion of the building.
After the Courthouse construction was completed, the Hudson County architectural plans were entrusted to a local man to be returned to that county. He did not get too far out of town on horseback before he stopped off at Hyers Tavern in Jackson. The plans have never been seen since.
