San Buenaventura City Hall
Ventura, CA
Completion


This Beaux Arts-style building was designed by Albert C. Martin. Built in 1912, the building was used as a courthouse until 1972 when it began service as San Buenaventura City Hall. Special features include marble floors, a domed stained glass ceiling, Doric columns, and the faces of twenty-four friars immortalized in terra-cotta. When the city noticed water leakage and deterioration of the terra-cotta facade, they retained SGH to investigate.
