Payette City Hall and Courthouse |
The Payette City Hall and Courthouse, at 3rd Ave. and 8th St. in Payette, Idaho, was built in 1912. |
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. |
It is a two-story brick building upon a raised foundation, built in Classical Revival style. |
It is three bays wide, with bays separated by terra cotta pilasters, and four bays deep. |
Its entry bay rises to a pedimented cornice. |
The builder was J. Ronald Walker. |
It was deemed "architecturally significant as a good local example of the Neo-Classical Revival style in Payette. |
Although of modest scale and ornament, it nevertheless is one of the town's more outstanding structures and the major one in the downtown area to display Classical details and proportions. |
Situated at the end of Third Avenue, Payette's main street, it dominates the streetscape in the north end, and for many years served as a symbol of civic authority. |
Further contributing to the building's significance is its having functioned for a number of years as a seat of local government. |
Not only did it house the city government, but after the formation of Payette County in 1917 it also contained the county government." |
The city offices moved out in the 1950s and the county offices moved out in the 1970s. |
