Designed by the Butler & Butler architectural firm and built by Maurice Hirschfield , this Spanish-California style building served as Malibu's courthouse until 1970 . The original single story structure seen here was expanded in about 1940 to include a split level western wing . Shortly after , the building served the additional function of housing the Sheriff's sub-station and holding cell . The church services of Malibu Presbyterian were held here as well , prior to the building of that congregation's church in 1951 . The building still stands today , serving private renters .
