Ventura County Courthouse
Ventura County Courthouse, County courthouse in Ventura, California
The white glazed terra cotta panels of the courthouse create a grand facade, complemented by fluted Doric columns and a copper-sheathed dome.
Completed in 1913 by architect Albert C. Martin Sr., this Neoclassical building served as the county courthouse until 1968 when structural concerns prompted relocation.
The second-floor city council chambers display detailed mahogany woodwork, stained glass skylights, and Roman-arched windows that reflect early 20th-century craftsmanship.
The structure now functions as Ventura City Hall, housing municipal offices and hosting regular city council meetings in its preserved historic chambers.
The building's facade features decorative faces of Franciscan friars, and the courthouse hosted the nationally covered Elizabeth Ann Duncan murder trial in 1958.
