Inyo County Courthouse, County courthouse in Independence, US

The Inyo County Courthouse is a county courthouse in Independence featuring Neoclassical design with classical columns and symmetrical proportions throughout. Decorative stone elements and classical detailing define the building's external appearance and architectural character.

The fourth Inyo County courthouse, designed by William H. Weeks in Classical Revival style, was built in 1922; its cornerstone was laid that year. It replaced an earlier courthouse that had grown too small and was torn down once the new building stood. The courthouse housed county government during 1921–1947, and its NRHP nomination calls it the peak of local autonomy in the Owens Valley before Los Angeles bought most of the valley's land.

In October 1969 Charles Manson was held at the courthouse, and 23 members of his Manson Family were detained here from October to December 1969. They were officially charged with the Tate and LaBianca murders before being transported to Los Angeles County.

A 2009 feasibility study found the courthouse deficient in security and ADA accessibility, so some proceedings are held in leased annex space half a mile away. The building is not fully open to the public; check access before visiting.

This is the only example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture within the entire Owens Valley region of California. This architectural distinction makes it stand out as a remarkable landmark, since the area contains few other buildings in this style.
