Gila County Courthouse

The Gila County Courthouse is a four-story courthouse building in Globe, Arizona, featuring Italian Renaissance architecture with a locally quarried stone exterior and classical pilasters rising to an ornate frieze. The structure incorporates pressed metal decorative elements in the frieze and cornice, complementing the brick bearing walls and wooden frame.

The courthouse was built in 1906 and gained its National Register listing in 1975. A three-story jail building was added next to the main structure in 1909.

The building now serves as the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts and hosts exhibitions and community gatherings throughout the year. Local artists and residents gather there regularly for cultural events and shared celebrations.

The building sits in downtown Globe and is accessible during business hours. Since it serves as an active cultural center, visiting hours may vary depending on scheduled events or exhibitions.

The structure displays rare craftsmanship details created by local artisans in the early 1900s. The combination of locally sourced materials and European design reflects the mining heritage and prosperity of the region during that era.
