Fodor's Review:
After Frederick Clarke Withers and Calvert Vaux's towered Third Judicial Courthouse was constructed in 1877, critics variously termed its hodgepodge of styles Venetian, Victorian, or Italian. Villagers, noting the alternating wide bands of red brick and narrow strips of granite, dubbed it the "lean bacon style." Now a library, the veritable Victorian Gothic castle was the site of the murder trial of architect Stanford White at the beginning of the 20th century.
