History
The Passaic County Court House and United States Custom House and Post Office Historic District is a 19th and early 20th century governmental complex in Paterson, New Jersey that still retains much of its architectural and historical integrity. The Classical Revival styled Court House features limestone and granite, prominent porticoes, fluted columns, decoratively carved pediments, and central rotunda. The United States Custom House and Post Office exemplifies a Flemish Revival architectural style, as evidenced by the large stepped and quoined gables, iron ties, carved-stone scrolls, Flemish bond brick courses, and Zeeland Lion and shield motifs.
