Here’s a view of the Clallam County Courthouse, located in Port Angeles. It’s a beautiful old building, with a newer wing housing many of our county services. Built in 1914, it is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The bell tower, which chimed while I was shooting, contains a bell that was shipped around Cape Horn from Boston. In a nod to more modern concerns, the building contains 126 solar panels, installed in 1979, which produce an estimated 20% of the electrical power used in the building.
I can see why this is on the National Register – it’s beautiful and so well-kept. And those solar panels! You Washingtonians are so with it! Amazing!
Great architecture. The colour is fantastic.
Doesn’t it sit up on the bluff?? I’ve often thought it would be an interesting trip to visit and shoot every county courthouse in the state… wanna go with me??
