TheHarlem Courthouse at 170 East 121st Street on the corner of Sylvan Place – a remnant of the formerBoston Post Road[4] – in theHarlem neighborhood ofManhattan,New York City, was built in 1891-93 and was designed byThom & Wilson in theRomanesque Revival style. The brick, brownstone, bluestone, granite andterra cotta building featuresgables, archways, an octagonal corner tower and a two-faced clock. It was built for the Police and District Courts, but is now used by other city agencies.

In 1936, during theNew Deal,Federal Art Project artistDavid Karfunkle painted amural, "Exploitation of Labor and Hoarding of Wealth" on its third floor.[5][6][7]

The city government used the building as a laboratory to measureair pollution. At the time of the1966 New York City smog, it was the city's only station to measure the air.[8]

The building was designated aNew York City landmark in 1967, and was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1980.[9]
