Courthouse Historic District
Located on Main Street in Gloucester, this historic district includes a
circular walled green and the buildings on the opposite side of the
circular street. The green has five buildings; the Debtor's Prison, the
Jail, the Roane Building, the Clayton Building, the Court House and one
Confederate monument. Click on the pictures below for more
information.
Gloucester Courthouse Circle with its surrounding businesses has
survived years of change and remains much as you might have found it at an
earlier date. Visitors to this historic spot will enjoy stepping back in
time, flavoring the excitement of "court days", enjoying the quiet hum of
a summer day or the hushed stillness at dusk under the great old trees
inside the court green.
