Few courthouses in New Jersey are as tied to a single case as the one in Flemington, the seat of Hunterdon County, which hosted the 1935 trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. This view is credited to E. Vosseller, a stationer, but the caption card records no date, so its exact age is uncertain. The title pairs the courthouse with the County Building, a reminder that county government in towns like Flemington was often housed in a cluster of public buildings around a shared green. Comparing the architecture and grounds with later photographs of the site can show how the complex changed over time.
