History of the Davis County Memorial Courthouse Campus Memorial Courthouse History The Davis County Court (Commission) approved the construction of a new courthouse in a special session on May 20, 1889. Plans by Kaysville architect, William Allen, were approved in July, and the building contract was awarded to E. B. Tyson for $11,100. The new building was completed on August 18, 1890. A 1957-58 addition doubled the courthouse and another large addition to the southern side was completed in 1979. A 1997 renovation removed the ceiling installed in the front entry hall during the 1932 construction, revealing the original 1890 ornate ceiling, now lighted with antique electrical fixtures. Davis County Commissioners announced plans in 1929 to enlarge the county courthouse. An initial Renaissance design with a turret corner entrance was replaced by a more traditional plan featuring a classical Grecian portico supported by six Ionian columns. The renovation utilized all the rooms of the original 1890 facility, removing its tall tower and adding east and west wings. The $60,425 project was completed in 1932. In 2010, Farmington City adopted ordinance No. 2010-10 dated April 20, 2010, designating the original portion of the Davis County Memorial Courthouse as a historic structure and therefore added to the Farmington Historic Landmark Register and on the 8th of June, 2010, the County Commissioners designated the Memorial Courthouse as a historic structure and committed to preserve the original portion of the Memorial Courthouse.
