The building now known as the old Hampton District Courthouse has a long and storied history. Built in 1873 as the Center Grammar School on Winnacunnet Rd., it was moved in 1916 to its present location across from the library. Since then it has served as Hampton's first public Kindergarten, the American Legion Post #35 hall, and Fire Station #2 from 1932 until 1978 , when it officially became the Courthouse. In 2005 the building was declared uninhabitable due to mold and asbestos contamination, and retired from public service.
