LEEDS-GRENVILLE COUNTY COURT HOUSE Symbols of law and authority to a new and changing society, the district court houses of Upper Canada were architecturally prominent buildings in the colony. Of these, one of the most grandiose is the former Johnstown District court house which was erected in the early 1840s and at present houses the county courts for Leeds-Grenville. Planned by the noted Toronto architect, John Howard, the building easily incorporates the diverse facilities of a court room, offices and jail while presenting an exterior of classical and monumental proportions.

PALAIS DE JUSTICE DES COMTÉS DE LEEDS ET DE GRENVILLE Symboles de la loi et de l'autorité dans une ociété nouvelle et changeante, les Palais de Justice du Haut-Canada étaient, du point de vue architectural, des bâtiments importants dans la colonie. Parmi les plus imposants de ces bâtiments est le Palais de Justice de l'ancien district de Johnstown, construit au début des annees 1840, qui abrite aujourd'hui le Palais de Justice des comtés de Leeds et de Grenville. Conçu par le célèbre architecte torontois John Howard, le bâtiment, qui comprend la salle d'audience, les bureaux et la prison, se présente sous un extérieur classique et des dimensions importantes.
