Law Chambers (1899)

45 Bastion Square

Architect: F.M. Rattenbury
Restoration: Peter Cotton, 1970

Rattenbury not only carried out extensive renovations to the Supreme Court building itself by creating a new Langley street entrance, he also bracketted the Courts with two of his own designs. The overall scheme is a restrained version of Italianate featuring very fine brick detailing. The form is conceived as a Renaissance palazzo facing the square. This was one of the first restorations done as part of the Bastion Square revitalization scheme.
