Description1922. County Court House. Klamath Falls, OR. (33451054282).jpg |
County Court House. American Legion Headquarters. Klamath Post Number Eight. Main office of Southern Oregon Northern California project occupied one quarter of the first floor of this building, just right of the entrance. 316 Main Street, Klamath Falls, Oregon.
Note: "This Klamath County courthouse was completed in 1920, but not occupied by county officials until 1922 due to a dispute over which of two new buildings would become the official courthouse. This building was damaged beyond repair by a series of earthquakes in 1993, and was demolished in August 1997. The wooden World War II monument at left was constructed in 1943. Names of Klamath County men who died in service were placed on the monument. It was replaced in 1954 by a stone masonry monument that still stands at the site."
