Miramichi City to 599 King George Hwy Welcome to the Old Court House, a landmark property in the heart of Miramichi City. Designed by Wolfville, Nova Scotia architect Leslie R. Fairn and constructed in 1912-1913 of locally quarried sandstone, this Romanesque Revival masterpiece has been lovingly restored while preserving its historic integrity and unmistakable charm. The property now features 8 residential apartments (2 two-bedroom apartments and 6 one-bedroom apartments, each with ductless splits for efficient heating and cooling; unheated/unlighted as well as a private storage room in the basement) along with 4 commercial units and 2 public washrooms (heat and lights included). An elevator provides modern convenience, and a comprehensive list of construction upgrades from 2018-2021 is available for review. There are 2 storage areas in the basement that could also be rented. The building showcases remarkable character-defining elements: its elevated placement with commanding views of the river and business district, circular towers with conical roofs and pinnacles, a steeply pitched roof, a dramatic terraced entrance, original prison and vault doors, restored mouldings, hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings that enhance the grandeur of the space. Steeped in history yet fully functional for today's needs, this is more than real estate, it is a rare opportunity to own a cornerstone of Miramichi's heritage, an iconic stone building where architecture, commerce, and community legacy meet.
