Chaves County Courthouse, County courthouse in Roswell, United States.
The Chaves County Courthouse features Colonial Revival architecture with a two-and-a-half-story structure, arched bays, and an octagonal double-height lobby at its center.
Built in 1911 during New Mexico's transition to statehood, the courthouse replaced an earlier structure from 1890 when the county population increased from 343 to 16,859.
The courthouse represents the architectural movement of Beaux-Arts classicism that characterized New Mexico's campaign for statehood in the early twentieth century.
Located on Main Street in Roswell, the courthouse contains administrative offices on the first floor and a courtroom on the second story.
The building incorporates a distinctive green-tiled cupola and maintains its original governmental function since its dedication in 1912.
