The Bristol County Courthouse is an historic courthouse on High Street in Bristol, Rhode Island, USA. The Federal style courthouse is believed to have been designed by John Holden Greene, or possibly Russell Warren, and built in 1816.[2] The building's structure is of stone, originally faced in brick, although that has since been stuccoed over. It was originally designed to house municipal offices as well as the courts, and was occasionally host to the state legislature, during a time when it was mandated to sit in a rotating series of locations.[3] In the 1930s it was restored by Providence architects Howe & Church.[4]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1]
