Denver turned out to be an interesting case from an administrative perspective, something I hadn't run into yet in my travels. In 1902, the City of Denver and Denver County were combined into a single entity, therefore this is the administrative center for the City and County of Denver, effectively the county courthouse. Though it … Continue reading 551. Denver, Denver County (CO19) →

Oh, Wyoming! I have literally never set foot in the state of Wyoming before so this was a new one for me. The courthouse threw me for a minute, being titled the "City and County Building." A little bit of quick research told me that the county clerk is based out of there. That is … Continue reading 550. Cheyenne, Laramie County (WY01) →

We all know how I feel about modern courthouses at this point. I understand that time has to go forward and that the needs of a county administration will change and/or expand as the years go on. That said, this is not an unattractive courthouse, but it is most certainly not one in a style … Continue reading 549. Fort Collins, Larimer County (CO18) →

So, (as I previously threatened) I was live on The Colin McEnroe Show for a little bit today! If you want to hear me talk for a few minutes about geocaching (and/or hear the other guest talk about other treasure hunts), check it out right here! If you want to skip to the best part … Continue reading Here It Is 6: Connecticut Public Radio Famous? →

Holy crap! That is one heck of an edifice! Greeley obviously isn't the suburb of some other more populous area, so its smaller size is a little bit surprising, especially when compared to the magnificence of the courthouse. This is most certainly not the courthouse of a small town. Of course, I'm obviously biased because … Continue reading 548. Greeley, Weld County (CO17) →

Another good, solid courthouse with just a skosh of color. I almost ended up at the combined court building, but I knew something had to be up. It seemed much too modern for what I thought this place might be like. Besides, as on several other occasions, the County Clerk's office saved me. As a … Continue reading 547.

So, how many Washington Counties does this make now? Checking through the archives, this makes number four. It's a nice courthouse, though it seems a bit like a large house with a tower on it. Of course, at the time, I didn't have a particular opinion on it, primarily because at that time of the … Continue reading 546. Akron, Washington County (CO15) →

Being from Texas, I don't usually find myself keeping up with the goings on of Connecticut radio (let's face it: the state is smaller than Brewster County). That being said, the Wednesday August 4th episode of The Colin McEnroe Show is going to be about "Treasure Hunts", and I'm going to be part of a … Continue reading A Face Made For Radio →

Alright, I can't remember the last time I saw a courthouse quite like this. It was quite unexpected, especially the lighting. I don't know if it was supposed to be red, white, and blue for independence Day or if it was a multi-colored for the end of Pride Month, but either way kudos for Sterling. … Continue reading 545. Sterling, Logan County (CO14) →

Not a bad look. Not at all... Of course, I could do without the giant light there, but meh. I liked the colonnade/atrium feel of it. The big central area made it feel more open and inviting. Sure, it takes away from the interior space that can be used, but there's something to be said … Continue reading 544. Sidney, Cheyenne County (NE07) →
