completed several works in Woodland including the Woodland Public Library, was the architect and Robert Trost, from San Francisco, was the contractor. It is an example of the Beaux-Arts architecture style. The building was completed in 1917 and the price totaled $300,000. The courthouse was extensively remodeled on the interior during the 1980s and placed on the National Register of Historic Places near the end of 1986. The courthouse originally held other county administrative offices, but as the courts have grown, those have been relocated. As of today, the interior has undergone new construction without compromising the historical features. It is now the new home of the Yolo County Probation Department. Architecture The new building's architecture displays influences of Greek, Roman, and Renaissance architecture. It features two full stories, as well as an attic and a basement. The concrete exterior was made of Colusa sandstone, and the cornices were made with material from a terra cotta factory in Lincoln, California. When Weeks showed visitors around the new courthouse he was quoted as saying, "This courthouse is the most beautiful in California, and I have built and rebuilt many of them and have seen them all..." On the inside, the courthouse has a rotunda on both the second and third floors with a main corridor spanning the length of the building. Each rotunda is made of marble pilaster columns with decorative murals in niches located near them. Both the rotundas and corridors are made from cut and polished marble with decorative copper handrails and hand-blown, egg-shaped glass light fixtures.
