Summary

Significance: The Tillamook County Courthouse is among the state's noteworthy examples of public architecture in the Modernistic or "Stripped Classical" style. By its scale and design it is the most monumental of public buildings in Tillamook. This 1932 structure by Ellis F. Lawrence is an example of what has also been labeled the Half Modern style. It was designed by Lawrence as part of his quest for modern functional forms, while resisting the break with tradition espoused by the rising voices of the International style.
