History

Riverside County Courthouse (photographed in 1910)

Riverside County was formed in 1893 from San Bernardino and San Diego counties.

The cornerstone for the first permanent Riverside County Courthouse was laid on May 7, 1903, and the building was completed in June 1904. [3] [4] The Beaux Arts courthouse occupies nearly one city block and is modeled on the Grand Palais in Paris. [5] Franklin P. Burnham is credited as the architect. [6]
