Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., and the Suffolk County Court House
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. was the second senior associate justice of the Supreme Judicial Court when the court moved into the new Court House in late 1893. Holmes is well known as having been a prolific author. But a search for any mention of the New Court House in Pemberton Square revealed that neither Holmes, nor any of the other justices or leading attorneys made any more than a casual passing reference to the Court House. Holmes's published collections of letters contained no mention of the Court House.
