Courtroom Three was also originally built for the district courts, and includes reproductions of the original gas brass lamps on the bench that were later converted to electricity. The carved mahogany door at the rear is false and was added to provide symmetry to the room. The three mosaic murals in the panels above the marble walls represent three faces of justice [from l. to r.]: Freedom, Majesty and Wisdom.
