Located in a block bounded by K (later, Van Ness), Fresno, M and Tulare streets and constructed in 1874-1875 by California Bridge and Building Co. of Oakland for $56,370. Original building dimensions were 60 x 97 feet and were substantially increased in later years. The view looks north, with Fresno Christian Church tower (built 1887) visible in the middle right. The Central (later known as the Hawthorne or White) Grammar School between the church and the Courthouse, which opened in 1879. The Courthouse was demolished in 1965-1966
