The Colonial Courthouse is pictured here from the side of the Magazine, where the weapons and powder were kept, and its protective fencing. In colonial times, to qualify as a juror in this court one was required to be a white, adult male, and a property owner.
I guess that was the barbed wire fence of the day...
