When Franklin High School was razed
at 6th and Rood, the site was used for the new Mesa County
Courthouse. Construction began in 1922 on the limestone, neoclassical
structure and it was built to high standards. Hallways had marble
wainscoting and terrazzo floors, court rooms were outfitted in golden oak.
The front doors of brass had ornate grilles. It was dedicated in 1924. (Dean Studio Photo) |
