There are only a couple of buildings that are depicted on a country's flag, and this is one of them. (The other is Cambodia.) The Courthouse in Philipsburg has a history that dates back to 1793. This started as a home for Commander John Philips, but it eventually served other public functions like a jail and post office before finally becoming a courthouse. The last renovation was done in 1966.
It's something of a landmark in Philipsburg as these things go. I was lucky and happy to stumble on it for a photo opportunity.
