The Harlem Courthouse was completed in 1893 in gorgeous red brick and brownstone and using Gothic/ Romanesque Revival style details across the exterior and in the interior as well.

The Municipal and Magistrate's courts first used the building and employed 40 below-ground jail cells (abandoned since 1940) that are now the oldest remaining jail cells in the city. These cells were also used as women’s jail cells in the early 20th century:

Two murals were painted on the interior walls of a courtroom in 1938. The Harlem Courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1980) and is a New York City Landmark (1967). The building now houses the Harlem Community Justice Center, with Family, Housing, and Civil Courts.

East Harlem’s Artpark is adjacent to the Harlem Courthouse and sits on land that was the jail’s recreation site for prisoners.

The wall of Artpark that is covered with a trellis has one of the few remaining parts of mural painted by Harlem’s Smokehouse collective - a group of Harlem artists that painted supergraphics on abandoned buildings and walls in the 1960’s.
