Court House

Being built in 1819 as a “2-story Federal brick building with cupola” having “Victorian Modifications.” The original front of the building can still be seen serving as the wall for the internal staircase to the second floor. The cupola not only added an air of elegance to the building, but illuminated the court room upstairs. Angelica held the County Seat until 1858, when it moved to Belmont, but shared it for several more years after. It is rumored that the first Republican Party Convention was held here. Since its abandonment as the court house, it has served as a WWI armory, gymnasium, school, polling place, and presently as the Town Hall. As of 1972, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2019, to celebrate the bicentennial of this “venerable relic,” it underwent extensive exterior repair and the former court room upstairs received a face lift.
