Hamilton County Courthouse Complex is a historic courthouse complex located at Lake Pleasant in Hamilton County, New York, United States. The complex consists of three buildings: an 1848 Greek Revival style stone jail with 1940 stone addition, the 1929 brick courthouse, and county clerk's office building, also built in 1929. The jail is considered a rare example of its type from before the Civil War.[2] The Colonial Revival style buildings added in 1929 feature large porticos and cupolas[2] and replaced the original 1843 wood-frame courthouse and clerk's office.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
