Caption: "Court House, Redwood City," c. 1912-1915. View of the Redwood City Courthouse building, constructed in 1910 and designed by Glenn Allen. This was the fourth courthouse built on the site. The dome was originally part of the third courthouse building, and was the only portion of that structure to survive the 1906 earthquake. It was subsequently incorporated into the fourth courthouse building, dubbed the Temple of Justice. In 1939 the county removed the courthouse's facade in order to add a new building (the Fiscal Building) to the site. The Fiscal Building was torn down in 2005 and the original facade of the fourth courthouse reconstructed.
