When the Lassen County Courthouse was constructed in 1867, in certain ways it was a multi-purpose facility. It would be awhile before any houses of worship would be built in Susanville. The County allowed the courthouse to be used for religious gatherings charging $3.00 a day.

The original courthouse did not have a second story balcony. It was constructed in 1892 by L.D. Arnold and George Harrison for $150.

I was going to include some other tid-bits, but my wrist recovery decided otherwise.
