Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. View of the 4th Courthouse on Inyo County, a 3-story building with 4 pillars at portico, wide steps, and flagpole, with street in foreground, mountains in background. Sprinklers water the lawn while a man stands in front of the building, watching. After the first two courthouses were lost in an earthquake and a fire, respectively, and the third turned out to be too small, William H. Weeks, the leading architect on the Pacific Coast was commissioned to build the fourth and present courthouse for Inyo County, Independence, California. The building was completed in 1923 and was an example of monumental Neoclassical Revival public architecture. The casings, trim, panelling and door of the Superior courtroom are made of oak. In 1998, the courthouse was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in recognition of "Integrity of Feeling and Association."
