Ventura County Courthouse
The Ventura County Courthouse, also known as Ventura City Hall, was designed in 1910 by one of the early pioneers of architecture in Southern California: Albert C. Martin, Sr. Noted for its gleaming terra cotta exterior, friars heads, and copper sheathed dome, his grand neoclassical design created one of the most beautiful civic structures in California.〔City of Ventura ("The Courthouse Architect: Albert C.

==Architecture and design==
When Albert C. Martin's plans were unveiled in 1911, the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that the "Roman Doric order" design would be "one of the most imposing public structures in California, and a credit to the seat of government of the prosperous lima bean section." Built in 1912 at a cost of $225,000,〔 the courthouse was dedicated in July 1913. An outstanding example of neo-classical architecture manifested in Beaux-Arts style,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cityofventura.net/files/file/comm-service/HistoricWalkingTourBrocsm.pdf )〕 prevalent in public projects in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. The building is rich in details including a terra cotta facade with scrolls, floral designs, and whimsical faces of Franciscan padres, the order that founded the Mission San Buenaventura in 1782.〔 The original central courtroom, now the City Council chambers, features dark mahogany woodwork, a stained-glass skylight (''pictured at left'') and arched windows.〔
