The Fresno County Courthouse is an 8-storey, 60.96 m (200.0 ft) low-rise building at 1100 Van Ness Avenue in downtown Fresno, California. Construction was completed on the building was in 1966 on the site of–and replacing–the previous neo-classical style courthouse that was completed in 1875.[4][5] Architectural historian David Gebhardt said of the loss of the old courthouse to the current one, "insipid."[6]
A $113 million seismic retrofit is scheduled to be completed in 2015.[7]
