The Jefferson County Courthouse is a standout building atop a hill in Port Townsend. Designed by Seattle architect W. A. Ritchie in the Romanesque style, it was built in 1891 for an estimated cost of $150,000.
Here is a look at some of the detail.
The historic Clallam County Courthouse in Port Angeles is smaller than this but lovely in its own right. I must post it, too.
This is a gorgeous structure, Kay. The clock tower is spectacular!
It’s a castle, fit for a fairy tale. The stone work is magnificent.
They obviously knew how to build in 1891!
Interesting and stately looking.
Gorgeouis building! I love the colour too.
