The Ocean County Courthouse is located at 118 Washington Street in Toms River in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. The historic brick courthouse was constructed from 1850 to 1851 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 1983, for its significance in architecture.[2] It was listed as part of the Old Village of Toms River Multiple Property Submission (MPS).[3]
The Greek Revival courthouse features six Doric columns and a portico with pediment. It was modeled after the old courthouse for Hudson County. Two wings were added in the early 1950s.[2]
