Yolo County Courthouse, located at 725 Court Street, Woodland, California. According to David L. Wilkinson in his book Crafting a Valley Jewel on page 76, the William Henry Weeks firm designed the Yolo County Courthouse, which was designed in the Renaissance Revival style, that replaced the original courthouse built in 1864. Robert Trost of San Francisco constructed the Courthouse in 1917.
