About This Item

Auburn Courthouse

This beautiful Courthouse in Auburn, CA is in the town we live in and we wanted to share it with you.

Built 1894-1898

This is a grandiose three-story Classic Revival structure topped by a bracketed cornice and simple Renaissance Revival inspired dome. Monumental stairs lead to a main second floor from both the north and south. This building is one of four surviving northern and central California courthouses which retain most of their architectural ornamentation and magnificent domes.

Before the formation of Placer County in 1851, this hilltop where the present courthouse now stands was the site of bull and bear fights and public hangings. The County's first courthouse, built of wood and cloth with an adjacent log jail, was erected on Court Street. A new two story wooden courthouse with a bell tower was built on the hill in 1853. The log jail burned in 1855, and in 1857, a new two story brick jail was built to the west of the courthouse on the hill. The two buildings were connected via an iron bridge running from the jail to a second story courtroom.

The Placer County Courthouse you see today was completed in 1898 with most of its building materials coming from Placer County: the granite from Rocklin, the bricks and terra-cotta trim from Lincoln, lime and lumber from various other areas in the county. The slate roof is from El Dorado County. The courthouse bell came around Cape Horn and was used regularly to summon officials to court. This building is listed on The National Register of Historic Places.

I normally keep just 1 TB and visit caches with him and only drop him off when I find another. Thus making the assumption that the cache is ' safe' to drop off in.
I could have him for a couple of days or weeks who knows.
The one I left behind Jaws I only picked up this morning.
