Built in 1937 for $307,000, this Territorial Revival style public structure with hand-carved wood interiors was built by the Works Progress Administration.[2] The state of New Mexico issued bonds of $175,000 to pay for its portion of the construction costs, and a tax of $2.50 was levied on each civil case docketed.[3] During the Cold War in the 1950s, the building doubled as a fallout shelter.[4]

Renovations

Over the decades, piping and court seating were upgraded, as were the electrical and heating systems, water pipes, communications lines, and emergency/fire alarm system The building now has a digital telephone system. Structural and interior design renovations have brought the building up to date.[4]
