René C. Davidson Courthouse, Superior Court in Oakland, United States.
The René C. Davidson Courthouse stands 12 floors tall at 1225 Fallon Street, next to Lake Merritt in downtown Oakland, California.
The courthouse opened in 1934 to replace an outdated 1893 structure, following strong advocacy from District Attorney Earl Warren in the early 1930s.
The building exemplifies art deco architecture and houses multiple judicial departments, including civil proceedings and family law services for Alameda County residents.
Visitors can access the courthouse via Lake Merritt BART station, located 0.3 miles away, or use nearby parking facilities at Alcopark Garage for hourly rates.
The facility changed its name from Alameda County Court House to honor René C. Davidson, a long-serving County Recorder who contributed to local administration.
