Santa Barbara County Courthouse
After some of the comments on my piece on the Mission Santa Barbara, I thought one of the other sites in Santa Barbara would make for a nice follow up post. The Santa Barbara County Courthouse is a bout a mile from the mission and incorporates mission architecture. It was built in 1925 and is shaped like a "L" with the open side as a park. There is a tall clock tower right by the main entrance which includes an observation deck that affords a magnificent view of the City of Santa Barbara and even the islands off shore.

Santa Barbara County Courthouse Main Entrance
This is the main entrance to the courthouse with the clock tower to the right. The entrance goes straight though the building exiting into the park on the other side. Leading from the entrance are stairways and corridors that provide access to the court's offices and courtrooms.
