Construction was completed on the building in 1966 on the site of, and replacing, the previous neo-classical style courthouse that was built in 1875.[4][5] Architectural historian David Gebhardt said of the loss of the old courthouse to the current one, "insipid."[6]
The courthouse is connected to the Fresno County Jail underground through a system of tunnels providing easy and safe transportation of inmates.[7][8][9]
A $113 million seismic retrofit was scheduled to be completed in 2015.[10]
