Book Title: Historical And Descriptive Sketch Of Sonoma County, California

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

   The public buildings of Sonoma county are not worthy of much, if any, notice.
The court house was built in 1859, and answers the purpose for which it was
intended, and that is all that can be said of it.

   The recorder's office is pronounced a very creditable building; it stands by
itself, and was erected in 1871-2, and is a neat, substantial, if not elegant
structure. It is entirely fire-proof, and the valuable records of the county
within its walls are free from danger.

   The county possesses two institutions of which the people may justly feel a
pride; we refer to the hospital and county farm. Both of the institutions are
well managed, and in the hospital all the comforts which could be asked are
furnished to the indigent sick of the county. The hospital and county farm are
directly under the control of Dr. J. B. Gordon. William Strom, a most excellent
person for. the special duties required, is steward of the hospital, and the
manager of the county farm is Robinson Head.

   The number of persons admitted to the hospital during the year was 177;
discharged cured 152, died 20, remaining January 1st, 1877, 31; county farm,
whole number January, 1876,13; admitted during the year 12, discharged 13;
number remaining January 31st, 1877, 12.
