The Cape May County Courthouse is located at 9 North Main Street in Cape May Court House, the county seat of Cape May County, which itself is in Middle Township, New Jersey, United States.[1]
It was designed by Edwards & Green of Camden and Philadelphia[2] and built in 1926–1927 by Bennett McLaughlin Company, also of Philadelphia.[1][3] They also designed the county seal, which was originally meant as a medallion for the new courthouse floor, and adopted as official in 1927.[4]
It replaced the Old Cape May County Courthouse Building that had been built in 1848 and that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
