Chelan County
Courthouse
 |
| |
Chelan County was
formed from parts of Kittitas and
Okanogan counties in 1899, ten years
after Washington was made a state. The
name "Chelan" is a Native American word
referring to "waters," which in this
instance probably referred to Lake
Chelan. Upon the county's creation,
Wenatchee became its county seat and
remains so today.
The first courthouse was a three-story
brick hotel, which was used by the
county as the courthouse until 1924,
when the new one was constructed. The
old courthouse reverted back to a hotel
until it was remodeled. Portions of it
are recognizable today.
The present courthouse was constructed
in 1924. The total cost of the
building, including furniture, was
approximately $400,000.
The Chelan County Courthouse is a
four-story brick building sitting on a
base of granite brought from Index,
Washington. The building is trimmed
with terra cotta designs, and the
corridors are laid with Alaskan marble.
The building design has been described
by county officials as Palladian Beaux
Arts. |
