旧長崎地方裁判所長官舎
この建物は長崎控訴裁判所長の住宅として1883年に建てられた。1945年に上訴院が福岡に移された後、歴代の長崎地方裁判所長と家族がここに住んでいた。元々、上町（うわまち）に建てられていたが1979年に現在の場所に移築された。
明治時代（1868-1912）には、長崎外国人居留地には800棟もの洋風の建物があったが、現在は約７０棟が残っている。この建物は、日本政府が高官のために建てた洋風建築の初期の例として非常に貴重な建造物である。
外観は明らかに西洋風だが、内観は日本と西洋の建築様式が混在している。広々としたエントランスと上げ下げ窓があるが、多くの部屋は畳で、煙突がない。当時、西洋風のファサードは威信と近代性の象徴であった。
Former Home of the President of the Nagasaki District Court
This building was constructed in 1883 as a residence for the head of the Nagasaki Court of Appeals. After the Court of Appeals was moved to Fukuoka in 1945, the house was occupied by successive presidents of the Nagasaki District Court and their families. The building was originally located in Uwa-machi, but it was dismantled and moved to its present site in 1979.
In the Meiji era (1868–1912), there were as many as 800 Western-style buildings in the Nagasaki Foreign Settlement, but now only about 70 remain. This building is invaluable as an early example of the Western-style buildings built by the Japanese government for its high-ranking officials.
The building looks distinctly Western from the outside, but its interior is a mixture of Japanese and Western building conventions. During the Meiji era, a Western façade was a symbol of prestige and modernity, and the house has a large entrance hall and double-hung windows. However, the house lacks a chimney, and many of the rooms had tatami floors.
