Arts Court is defined by its grey Gloucester limestone walls and the royal coat of arms carved into the pediment above its central two-story entrance. Built between eighteen seventy and eighteen seventy-one, the building originally functioned as the Carleton County Court House. It sat as the centerpiece of a legal precinct that included the former county jail and various registry offices.
