The Superior Courthouse and Bartlett Mall are, respectively, one of the oldest active courthouses in the nation, and one of the oldest public grounds in the city of Newburyport, Massachusetts. Bartlett Mall, which runs in front of the courthouses along High Street near its intersection with Green Street, predates the 1764 separation of Newburyport from Newbury. The courthouse was built in 1805 to a design by noted architect Charles Bulfinch.[2]
The mall and courthouse were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976,[1] and included in the Newburyport Historic District in 1984.[3]
