COURTHOUSE (12.4.06)

Built in 1933, this courthouse in Boulder, Colorado replaced the town's original casa de law, which encountered a slight "overheating" problem in 1932. This courthouse's Art Deco/Art Moderne style was considered ultra-modern for its time, and was constructed with sandstone blocks previously used in bridge abutments for the Boulder county's Switzerland Trail, the nickname for what once was a narrow-gauge railway serving the mining communities west of Boulder.
