I don't know if it's still in print, but there used to be a Courthouses of
New York State book of photos on sale at the New York State Museum in Albany
last time I looked in--several years ago.

The New York State Appeals Court building in Albany is a marble Greek Revival
building. The porch uses the order of the Athena Nike temple, and it has a
charming rotunda with painted ceiling coffers. The court room itself was
brought over from the Capitol across the street after a fire there. It is
carved from Circassian walnut (I think that's from one of the Balkan states).
It is a Richardson. Find illustrations in books about Richardson.
