DAVIS COUNTY COURTHOUSE: Renovation that Respects Historic Design
Written by Commissioner Elliott for Farmington News
In 1929, Davis County Commissioners announced plans to enlarge the county courthouse. Interestingly, the expansion was built around the 1890s red-brick courthouse, so there is a courthouse within a courthouse. An initial renaissance design with a turret entrance was replaced by a more traditional plan featuring a classical Grecian portico supported by six Ionian columns. The project was completed three years later in 1932.
