| Landmark #847 | Ventura County | Visited: March 20, 2011 | Plaque? YES! 🙂 |
| What is it? | Once the courthouse of Ventura County, the structure has been renovated and refurbished as Ventura City Hall! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: The courthouse was designed in 1910 by one of the early pioneers of architecture in Southern California-Albert C. Martin, Sr. Dedicated in July 1913, the structure is an outstanding example of neoclassic architecture, a style prevalent in the United States at the turn of the century. The courthouse is an extremely well-proportioned building, and is rich in detail and materials not likely to be found elsewhere in the Southern California area.
