The Ventura County Courthouse, located in Ventura, California, was designed in 1910 by one of the early pioneers of architecture in Southern California: Albert C. Martin, Sr. Dedicated in July 1913, the structure is an outstanding example of neo-classical architecture, a style prevalent in the United States at the turn of the century. The courthouse is an extremely well-proportioned building, and is rich in detail and materials not likely to be found elsewhere in the Southern California area. It is registered as California Historical Landmark #847 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NPS-71000211). It now serves as the Ventura City Hall.
