BOSTON MUNICIPAL COURT RELOCATES
TO POST OFFICE SQUARE

 

Boston, MA--After many decades of serving the public in the Historic Suffolk County Court House at Pemberton Square, the judges and court personnel of the Boston Municipal Court are moving to the John W. McCormack Post Office and Court House at Post Office Square, beginning today.  The relocation involves two phases.

     The Administrative Office of the Boston Municipal Court and the Civil Clerk’s Office are moving this weekend, May 18 through May 20.  Those offices will be open for business and court sessions on Monday morning, May 21. 

     The Criminal Clerk’s Office and the Probation Department will move the weekend of May 25 through May 28.  They will be open for business on Tuesday, May 29, following the Memorial Day holiday.

     The Boston Municipal Court is moving in preparation for the comprehensive renovation of the Historic Court House, scheduled to begin in July.  The Historic Court House, which is listed in the State and National Registers of Historic Places, was built between 1886 and 1894.  The renovations will include an historic restoration and a complete refurbishment of the facility to accommodate the Supreme Judicial Court, the Appeals Court, and the Social Law Library. The Historic Court House, which will be closed during the renovation period, is expected to reopen in 2003.
