Clackamas County's first courthouse was completed in 1850, but burned in 1862. For the next twenty years court business was conducted in a series of rented spaces. The second courthouse was itself replaced in 1937 by the current Art Deco building, located in the same location.
Looking towards the river, we can see almost exclusively wooden buildings surrounding the new courthouse - many of them still residential.
