Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. Courthouse Tour

In 1885, Baltimore City set out to build the most beautiful Courthouse in the country. Fifteen years, and $2.2 million later ($56 million adjusted for inflation), that goal was realized. On January 6, 1900, the Baltimore Sun reported that the City of Baltimore had built a “temple of justice, second to no other in the world.” The building, which is a magnificent exemplification of Renaissance Revival architecture, continues to stand as a monument to the progress of the great city of Baltimore, and to the importance of the rule of law.

We will be taking an architectural and historical tour of the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. Courthouse. We'll start outside in Courthouse square before heading inside to see the marble courtrooms, library, murals, and Legal History Museum.
