Ventura County Courthouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ventura County Courthouse, located in Ventura, California, 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 neo-classical 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. It is registered as California Historical Landmark #847 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NPS-71000211). It now serves as the Ventura City Hall.
