FLEMINGTON COURT HOUSE (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
Almost Italian Byzantine revival with its brick construction, round domed tower recessed and arched openings and almost Lombardic Romanesque by its expressed arch-corbelling up the stepped gable and its church-like rose window over the multi-arched door. (See S. Antonio, Padua 13th C) Again, the corner site is used resourcefully but 'more boldly than at the post office. Strong shapes are counterposed on plan and in elevation and less dependence is placed on ornament (round dais wall - where a flagpole once sprang from the curve's centre).
Zinna Monastery, Potsdam, has the same stepped gable in brick (15th c.)
FLEMINGTON COURT HOUSE (FORMER) - Integrity
The stucco has been painted; the dais flagpole removed but otherwise generally original.
