Frederick City Hall

The current City Hall is the third courthouse to be built on or near this present site. In the beginning of Frederick's history, courts were held in the "Dutch Meeting house"; then moved to the upper story of Mrs. Charton's tavern the south-west corner of Market and Patrick Streets.

The first courthouse on Council Street was complete on November 24, 1750, except for the interior which was not complete until 1756 when the General Assembly passes an Act authorizing the County Court to levy 210 pounds sterling to finish the interior. The courthouse was not completed for six years because General Braddock had taken the workmen away to work for him on one of his expeditions. (From Website)
