Accessed from the main corridor, this office contains 221 square feet. An interior doorway leads directly into the adjacent storage room. This room serves as the Justice of the Peace Courtroom, as well as office space (one Justice of the Peace serves three precincts: Precincts One, Two and Six). Attorneys, defendants and witnesses must wait in the hallway outside, as the office lacks adequate seating or other facilities for holding court. Plaster walls are heavily damaged from water infiltration on the east wall.

The walls are composed of both plaster along exterior walls and gypsum wall board along interior walls. All walls are in good condition. Containing 65 square feet, this restroom facility was recently upgraded to meet ADA requirements. The lower half of the window is currently blocked by ceiling tile for privacy, but has not affected the integrity of the original window opening or sash. This is the only women’s restroom on the ground floor and is located off the main corridor within a small foyer to the offices of the Department of Public Safety.
