The Clark County Courthouse is a historic office building in Vancouver, Washington, United States, that houses the judicial courts and other facilities for Clark County. The five-story concrete building was designed by Day Walter Hilborn in the Art Deco and Art Moderne styles and constructed at a cost of $546,000.[1] The courthouse was dedicated by Washington governor Arthur B. Langlie on November 29, 1941, with thousands attending the open house.[2]
The courthouse is the fourth to be used by Clark County and was built at the site of the previous courthouse, which was built in 1892. The building includes terrazzo-style floors and ornamental fittings; a bas-relief sculpture above the front entrance was damaged during a power-washing operation in 1978. The Clark County Courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[3]
