The San Bernardino County Court House, located at 351 N. Arrowhead Ave. in San Bernardino, is the county courthouse for San Bernardino County, California. The courthouse was built in 1927 and has served as the center of county government since then. San Bernardino architect Howard E. Jones designed the courthouse in the Classical Revival style; the courthouse is the only surviving Classical Revival building in San Bernardino. The building's design features classical columns spanning the second and third floors, a parapet along the roof line, regularly spaced windows, and extensive use of projecting blocks on the front facade. The courthouse is faced with unpainted stone and stucco, an uncommon design choice. A 1937 welfare building, a 1940 county library, and a 1940 heating plant are also located on the courthouse grounds, which are extensively landscaped and include a fountain, sundial, plaque, and the remains of the former county courthouse.[2]
The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1998.[1]
