Outside of the Old Nassau County Courthouse is a statue of President Theodore Roosevelt. In 2005 then Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi led a groundbreaking for restoration of this buildingthat Theodore Roosevelt laid a cornerstone for when running for Vice-President of the United States.
The Roosevelt Memorial was Paul Manship’s last major work. This statue was made from a small none-footscalemodel in plaster of a larger seventeen-foot sculpture that was executed and dedicated in 1967 on Roosevelt Island. The statue of the 9 foot model was cast at the Paul King Foundry in Johnston, Rhode Island, in 2002 and is the only copy made.
Inside the Courthouse are fouroil-on-canvas murals located in the rotunda. They were completed in 1937 and 1938 by Robert Gaston Herbert, a Sea Cliff artist. They were commissioned as part of the U.S. WPA’s Federal Art Project. In 2007 the murals were cleaned and conserved from a gift that the Rauch Foundation provided.
