The former Worcester County Courthouse, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. It has the interesting motto: Obedience to Law is Liberty. According to Preservation Worcester, the building was built in stages "(1843, 1878, 1898 and 1954). The south wing is its oldest section, dating from 1843. A Greek revival section was added in 1878. The present Classical Revival structure was built in 1898 and designed by Andrews, Jacques, and Rantoul to incorporate the earlier structures."
