Here's a photo postcard of the old Tulare County Courthouse, Visalia.     The courthouse was built in 1876.  This photograph was probably taken around 1906  (Larger north and south wings were added to the building  around 1908).   This courthouse was torn down after it sustained significant damage from the 1952 Tehachapi earthquake.
