Doña Ana Courthouse

This is the old Dona Ana Courthouse on Amador. In 1937 the WPA partially funded the construction of this three-story white Adobe with exposed vigas and wooden balconies. A jail was added in 1969. The architect was Percy McGhee , a student of Henry Trost. McGhee also did the Brannigan cultural center building. In two different histories, I saw that it was called Spanish revival and in a different one Pueblo revival style building.
David from Southwest Expeditions has an office there. He’s the one that takes people on canoe trips, kayak trips, hiking trips, and ghost Tours. He said if he’s around, he will open the building so we can take a look around inside. But mostly, we will be outside. Bring your art supplies, camp chairs, and dress for the weather.
