The restoration of John Adams Courthouse reinstates a historic courthouse, which is listed on the State and National Historic Registers and is a Boston Landmark, as a great civic monument.
The restoration preserved the building’s historic façade, including its two main entries, and returned the building’s outstanding architectural features to their original grandeur. Extensive interior renovations were conducted, including a new Seven-Justice Courtroom for the SJC; the Social Law Library, which contains over 425,000 volumes; and the Massachusetts Appeals Court.
