Westport Courthouse

Westport is still using it's historic 1903 courthouse for court business. While historic courthouses of all shapes and sizes have fallen victims to maintenance and earthquake issues nationwide, the one here on Wakefield Street is going strong.

A simple timber and iron construct, with colonial-day sash windows and a villa-esque appearance, without verandahs.

The Police are right next door, their building being younger and concrete with nothing to recommend it other than being opposite the popular Denniston Dog pub.
