Washington County government building expansion

Title

Washington County government building expansion

Description

Black and white image of several men watching a wrecking ball destroy a building. Washington county in the late 1960s and early 1970s was the fastest growing county in Oregon, and the expansion was necessary to provide room for the growing county government. Construction on this phase of the project was finished in late 1972. In the background on the left of the image is the new county jail, finished in 1971 as part of phase one of this expansion project.
