Clark County Courthouse (Washington)


The Clark County Courthouse is a historic office building in Vancouver, Washington, United States, that houses the judicial courts and other facilities for Clark County. The five-story concrete building was designed by Day Walter Hilborn in the Art Deco and Art Moderne styles and constructed at a cost of $546,000. The courthouse was dedicated by Washington governor Arthur B. Langlie on November 29, 1941, with thousands attending the open house.
The courthouse is the fourth to be used by Clark County and was built at the site of the previous courthouse, which was built in 1892. The building includes terrazzo-style floors and ornamental fittings; a bas-relief sculpture above the front entrance was damaged during a power-washing operation in 1978. The Clark County Courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
