The original structure on this site dated back to 1842. It was bought by the French Mission in 1915 and most of the present building was the result of an extensive renovation carried out in 1917.

The granite and red brick structure of the building can be described as neo-classical in style, dating from the Edwardian period (1901-10). It was returned to the Government after the war and has been used for different purposes including the headquarters of the Education Department, the District Court, the Supreme Court and the Information Services Department. It now houses the Court of Final Appeal.
