Ventura County Courthouse!

Ventura County Courthouse
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.

OTHER TIDBITS: This landmark is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places!
