Clayton Building:  This building is believed to the the oldest in the Courthouse Historic District,  and it originally served as the Clerk's Office from its construction around 1690 through about 1890.  The building has two rooms, one with a fireplace, and floors of random size stones brought over from England and unlike other other floors in this area. John Clayton, the famous botanist, served as Clerk of Gloucester County for over fifty years, until his death in 1773.
