Description
This image was taken from the El Mirador Clock Tower at the top of the Santa Barbara Courthouse. It shows the circular stair tower of the courthouse. As a kid, it was a real treat to go up the elevator to the top! (we didn't have elevators in our town) The tower is 85 feet tall and has incredible views of the city and the ocean. As a result of the 1925 earthquake, massive damage was done to Santa Barbara. The town was rebuilt in mostly Spanish Colonial style, thus the red terracotta tiles on all the roofs.
