Category:Sunset Park Courthouse

English: The Sunset Park courthouse, located at 4201 4th Avenue between 42nd and 43rd Streets in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, was built in 1930-31 and was designed by Mortimer Dickerson Metcalfe in the Neoclassical style. The building has separate facades and entrances for the Municipal Court and the Magistrates Court. It was converted for non-court use in 1962. In 1970 it was the location of the NYC Job Preparation Center, and Community Board 7 utilized the building at about this time. By 1973 the Sunset Park Senior Citizens Center and other non-profit agencies were located there. A full renovation of the building was completed by Helpern Artitects in 1996, and the NYPD moved into the building shortly afterwards (Source: Guide to NYC Landmarks (4th ed.) and NYCLPC Designation Report)
