Over the past 133 years, people have visited the granite-block courthouse just south of Litchfield’s Town Green for everything from murder cases to child-custody disputes.
In less than two years, however, the roughly 18,000-square-foot historic building could become a mecca for leaf peepers, wedding guests and tourists seeking an escape to the tranquil Litchfield hills.
A planned $14-million redevelopment spearheaded by Hartford-based Lexington Partners will transform the building into a 20-room boutique hotel.
