With the growth in population in Kingston and with the increased complexity of the law, the 1796 courthouse and jail were deemed to be too small by the mid-19th century. The courthouse and jail were sold and contracts were let for the new courthouse in July 1855 on land obtained from the province.

Rapid growth required the building of a separate but nearby County administration office in 1861 and a Registry Office in 1876. This building is associated with 19th-century judicial, governmental and administrative development in Ontario.

This building is associated with 19th-century judicial, governmental and administrative development in Ontario and is the third and only surviving courthouse erected for the former Niagara District. Its plan marks a transition to larger and more sophisticated court buildings after 1850 in order to include a wider range of functions.

Serving as Peel County's judicial and administrative centre until 1973, the courthouse was then leased to the municipality until 1980. It now serves as a museum and art gallery.

The Provisional County of Welland was separated from Lincoln County in 1851 with the requirement that the former build a courthouse and jail.
