Description	The Old Malibu Courthouse at 21323 Pacific Coast Highway (then Roosevelt Highway) in Malibu appears here shortly after its construction in 1932. Two cars are parked on the road. 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.
