Martin, Sr. Dedicated in July 1913, the structure is an outstanding example of neoclassic 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. <p></p> Registered 5/19/1971 https://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/a7db6a6a57d4beba7764ea9bc59f91a6.JPG e3f4bf9ebb3eb2e235e78c9c61dc50da https://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/115be79e9ed54ab64494ad4d4e3e40a4.JPG d4212780fe94ef49130651434e138b35 https://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/82aa8fc182df7c0951a5e1b27c34e918.JPG 2199001cb763377ce41160fd4bacd37d https://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/b255c2e0000c277f1d95eb874341eab2.JPG a16bba4f9dfbde04909a4aaf8b9b0548 https://landmarkquest.com/omeka/files/original/1d71a6ee3369e15d0147eb8f7f18b8f7.JPG 5c4e7d99260c24386527f963c326dbce Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
