Description:Jury box, Judge's Chambers, witness stand and garden. The landmark Old Orange County Courthouse is Southern California's oldest court building and has been witness to many of the events which shaped present-day Orange County. From its dedication in 1901, this granite and sandstone building has been the traditional home of County government. Today the 30,000-square foot building has been restored to look much as it had at the turn of the last century. The building contains the Orange County History Center (which includes the Old Courthouse Museum and the Orange County Archives) as well as government offices. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a State of California Historic Landmark. ~ OC Parks Website
