^Ha ha! I love the succinctness of that comment => 'It was later demolished.' A few things happened in between but whatever.

Some great tidbits about the courthouse. I had no idea those columns were still kickin' around. I'll have to check that out. And yes, as has been pointed out, this was Hamilton's third courthouse. The first was little more than a log cabin. The second was a substantial building and actually quite beautiful in its own right.

A somewhat interesting nugget, the gallows were in behind the courthouse facing onto what was then called Tyburn street - now Jackson. They chose the name Tyburn because it's synonymous with hangings as it was the location where most criminals were executed in the London area. Cooool. It was later changed to Maiden lane perhaps as an homage to the Iron Maiden? Not the band but the medieval torture device. That's probably a stretch...no pun intended.

Unfortunately I sealed away all my history of Hamilton books years ago because they caused me to fall into a deep depression, otherwise I'd be able to offer more in the way of detail. So thanks for filling in the blanks!
