Washoe County Courthouse
Washoe County Courthouse, Neoclassical courthouse in Reno, United States.
The Washoe County Courthouse features grand stone columns, detailed facades, and architectural elements typical of early 20th-century government buildings in Nevada.
Built in 1910 for $250,000, this courthouse processed over 4,800 divorces in 1931, generating $5,000,000 for Reno's economy through liberal residency requirements.
Architect Frederic J. DeLongchamps designed this structure as his first solo commission, establishing a foundation for Nevada's civic architectural identity.
Located at 117 South Virginia Street, the courthouse maintains regular operating hours and continues to serve as an active judicial center for Washoe County.
The building earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 for its role in Nevada's divorce industry during the early 1900s.
