historic place
The Yolo County Courthouse in Woodland, California, is a historic place. The current building, a notable example of Beaux-Arts architecture, was completed in 1917. Its design, by architect William Henry Weeks, features influences from Greek, Roman, and Renaissance styles. This structure replaced an earlier courthouse, built in 1864, which was deemed unfit for use and condemned in 1911. In 1987, the United States Department of the Interior officially listed the Yolo County Courthouse on the National Register of Historic Places. For many decades, it served as the home for the Superior Court of California in Yolo County, a role it held until 2015. Today, the building continues its public service, housing various Yolo County departments. The Yolo County Courthouse remains a significant architectural landmark, reflecting the county's history and development.
