Built in 1932, this building was originally used as the Contra Costa County Hall of Records. By 1932, the original government building in Martinez, the 1901 court house, was no longer adequate to accommodate the needs of a population that had jumped from 5,328 in 1860 to 78,608 in 1930. As a result, the Hall of Records was built in 1932 on the block next to the court house. Its purpose was to house the growing mass of county records and to provide two additional courtrooms.

This building is no longer the Hall of Records and is now the Contra Costa County Courthouse in Martinez.

National Register of Historic Places # 91001385.
