Alright, here's my list of the Top 20 Courthouses In B.C. Feel VERY free to mute this conversation. Basic notes: - A courthouse must be in current operation at least part of the time to count - Most photos come from the awesome <a target="_blank" href="http://www.courthouses.co" color="blue">courthouses.co</a> website Here we go!
#20: Port Coquitlam (1996) - Bold colours, nice mix of textures - Good dramatic staircase - Sharp angles are fun
#19: Stewart (Date unknown) - Suitably old-timey looking for an old-timey town - Fact it's also the town museum and Service BC outlet amuses me
#18: Sechelt (2003) - Good integration into the natural environment - Fun use of wood for exterior flourishes - Proof one-storey courthouses don't have to be lame
#17: Lillooet (1926) - Nice laid back but authoritative feel - Dramatic mountains - Warm colours for a town that is always five degrees too warm
#16: Nakusp (1910) - Stately in its simpleness - I don't know what the final sentence on the plaque means, and I enjoy that
#15: Prince Rupert (1922) - Just a BEAST of a building - Ageless - Very intimidating crest right at the front doors
#14: Kelowna (1994) - Proof that a modern building can look dramatic - Great staircase - ❤️ that shade of brick
#13: Surrey (1991) - Dramatic gold nameplate that works great for TV/online images, unlike Vancouver, not that I'm constantly annoyed by that or anything - Good example of concrete jungle architecture actually coming together okay - Simple but effective courthouse steps
#12: Powell River (1974) - Somehow makes green and yellow a great colour scheme - Like Sechelt, excellent use of playing off Sunshine Coast culture - Love the little sideblinds on the windows - Almost good enough to make me forget how great the old Powell River courthouse is
#11: Penticton (1949) - Yeahhhh breathe in that Art Deco mood - Unique style for B.C. courthouses - Classy shade of yellow - Neat flourishes all over the place
#10: Fraser Lake (date unknown) - Actually just the town curling rink - This is the photo the B.C. government uses to show people where it is - Without knowing anything else, the concept amuses me
#9: Chilliwack (2002) - You build a classical courthouse in the middle of a growing city in the 21st century, you get props - Strong pillars + glass combo - Reaches for grandeur, but doesn't quite make it
#8: Duncan (1970) - A full 90% of this is due to the government building, not the actual courthouse. But it's part of the same complex, so - The courthouse has a subdued respectability for a one-storey building. It's fine - But seriously, look at the government cylinder!
#7: Revelstoke (1913) - THAT DOME - Exudes a very particular time and space extremely well - Almost too much going on (i am not a professional architecture critic)
#6: Rossland (1901) - Cuuuuuuuuuute - Engraving "COURT HOUSE" and "AD 1900" is a fun superfluous touch - Dramatic angles are pleasing, especially on the sidehill
#5: Atlin (1900) - Ridiculously pretty and well-maintained - Delighted there are still court hearings in a town of 500 people inaccessible to the rest of B.C. - Now usually an art gallery, can't figure out if court hearings are still in this building or not, frankly don't care
#4: Vernon (1914) - Just a beast of a courthouse; there is no way this could be anything other than a courthouse - 100 carloads of granite were used in construction; floors are 12 inches thick, i am very intimidated - HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE
#3: Nanaimo (1896) - Historic+quaint+Rattenbury+still in use = ALL GOOD THINGS - More of a time-machine feel than classic Interior courthouses - Sort of love the fact a super generic building was literally tacked on the back when its small size became too much of an issue
#2: Fernie (1910) - Looks cute AND grand at the same time, how is that possible - Photographs well at night, in show, with mountain backdrop, without it, ugh i'm jealous - Not a full-time courthouse and seems sort of separate from town, so it ultimately loses to...
