点评:Boorowa's first courthouse was a basic structure also serving as a lockup, built in 1857. A more substantial courthouse was built three years later, costing £800, and a £68 fence was added in 1862 to prevent interaction between prisoners and the public.
The first District Court hearing in Boorowa took place in 1866. The courthouse had a £150 addition in 1868, and the building was eventually replaced in 1883 due to increased court sittings and the building's age.
The new grand building was designed by the Colonial Architect James Barnet and was one of 130 court houses built during Barnet’s 25-year tenure. Barnet was known for a classical revival style which incorporated Palladian elements in its composition. The Boorowa Court House cost £5,750 at time of construction in 1885/86 and was the last of a series of structures that housed court proceedings in the town.
This courthouse was completed by January 1886 and had many upgrades over the years. Electricity was installed in 1926 and there was a $30,000 refurbishment in 1984. Court sittings in Boorowa ceased in 1988, but court hearings continued to be held in nearby Yass and Young.
The building is undoubtedly impressive, but also to note at this rest area are the information signs that give you a comprehensive history of the railway. It's an incredibly good rest stop... with picnic tables on offer.
翻译:布罗瓦的第一座法院建于1857年,最初只是一座简陋的建筑,同时也用作拘留所。三年后,一座更坚固的法院落成,耗资800英镑。1862年,法院增建了一道耗资68英镑的围栏,以防止囚犯与公众接触。
布罗瓦的第一次地方法院听证会于1866年举行。1868年,法院又增建了150英镑,但由于开庭次数增加和建筑老化,最终于1883年被替换。
这座宏伟的新建筑由殖民时期建筑师詹姆斯·巴内特设计,是巴内特25年间建造的130座法院之一。巴内特以其古典复兴风格而闻名,其建筑结构中融入了帕拉第奥式元素。布罗瓦法院于1885/86年建成,耗资5750英镑,是该镇一系列用于法院诉讼的建筑中的最后一座。
这座法院于1886年1月竣工,多年来经历了多次升级。电力系统于1926年投入使用,1984年进行了耗资3万美元的翻新。布罗瓦的法院于1988年停止开庭,但附近的亚斯和扬仍继续举行听证会。
这座建筑无疑令人印象深刻,但同样值得注意的是,休息区的信息标牌会向您全面介绍铁路的历史。这是一个非常棒的休息站……还提供野餐桌。
