dc.descriptionThe Essex County Courthouse is a grand example of civic architecture from the American Renaissance period. Built in 1906, the courthouse is the work of the renowned Cass Gilbert, architect of the famous Woolworth Building and the U.S. Custom House in Lower Manhattan. It has a four-story rotunda topped with a Tiffany skylight. It features artwork from some of the most well known artists of the American Renaissance period. Seated Lincoln is a 1911 sculpture by Gutzon Borglum, depicting Abraham Lincoln larger than life size, seated at one end of a bench. Lincoln is bearded but bare headed, with his stovepipe hat resting on the bench beside the man's hand.
