Centenary of Dubbo Court HousePrint Page

Photographs supplied by Sandra Brown
The plaque commemorates the centenary of the Dubbo Court House 1889 - 1989.
In the 1880s, a new courthouse for Dubbo was designed by Colonial Architect James Barnet. This was likely in response to the increased workload created by the new gaol in Dubbo and the growth of the town. The courthouse was completed by the end of the decade and backed onto the gaol. A residence and two cells were also constructed on the grounds. The previous courthouse was then used as a drill hall for the local regiment.
