Three sheets giving two plans and two elevations for a public building (presumably a court house - three of the rooms are designated on the plan as 'clerk''sheriff', and 'surrogate'). There are two facades and it is difficult to tell which is the front and which is the back; one is marked by three segmental arches with a recessed porch behind; the other also has a recessed porch but has a more formal (and more up-to-date) frontispiece in the Greek Revival style, with two pilasters on either side and two square columns in the center, flanking door. Also the roof cornice of this facade has a long low rectangular panel centered over the entryway. These motifs are close to those shown in American builder's pattern books of the 1830s and 40s. The builders' manuals and pattern books of the 19th century were the do-it-yourself manuals of their era, and for builder-architects like Hadden & Gedney, were important resources for construction techniques and design details.
