"Modoc County Courthouse" Alturas Things to Do Tip by WulfstanTraveller

As the couny seat, Alturas is home to the Modoc County courthouse. This neo-classical building was constructed in 1914 and not only dominates the surrounding area but is fairly unique among California's courthouses. There is no other courthouse in the whole state that really resembles it, even though many neo-classical courthosues were built in California around the same time and several stil stand. However, the building is in disrepair, both cosmetically and structurally, and needs significant work.

Directions: It's in the SE part of downtown Alturas
