History
The Nassau County Courthouse was built in 1940, after the older Nassau County Courthouse was determined to be too small for the needs of a rapidly-growing Nassau County.[5] The building was constructed as part of a Public Works Administration project, along with the other two structures built at the complex as part of the project.[5]
The County of Nassau hired architect and county resident Lawrence Lincoln in 1938 to design the new complex.[5]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in March 2021.[5][6][7]
