I thought this was going to be a quick jaunt over here because the county clerk's office was 10 minutes from Broomfield. Turned out that there was a satellite office in a nearby town so it ended up taking me more than a little bit longer to get here than I would have thought. Obviously … Continue reading 555.

Broomfield, like Denver, has also combined both city and county functions into one administrative block. Therefore they have a modern conglomeration of buildings with the Clerk's Office and Police and Public Works and the courts and everything else mixed into it. Look, I know I give more modern courthouse a certain amount of crap they … Continue reading 554. Broomfield, Broomfield County (CO22) →

Technically this isn't a courthouse, but rather a government center. May I also state that it has all the ostentatiousness of a government center and not a courthouse. I almost made the rookie mistake of going to the Courts of Justice instead of the Administration Building here because morning. Luckily, I managed to correct myself … Continue reading 553.

So, they don't exactly have a courthouse in Littleton as much as they have a county plaza wherein the courts and administration are all contained. Basically, Littleton looks like a small town that decided to incorporate itself before it got gobbled up by its big monster neighbor and would be taxed all to heck, but … Continue reading 552.

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.
