Mohave County Courthouse and Jail, Neoclassical courthouse and jail complex in Kingman, Arizona, USA

Mohave County Courthouse is a two-story courthouse in Kingman built from local stone quarried nearby. The building displays classical features with ornamental cornices and forms a connected complex together with an adjoining jail building.

The jail was built in 1909–10 to the design of the Pauley Jail Co., with John Mulligan as contractor, replacing an older jail from which prisoners escaped too easily. The adjacent courthouse followed in 1915, designed by Phoenix firm Lescher & Kibbey and built by J. M. Wheeler and Collamore & Sons using native cut stone from the Metcalfe Quarry. Both buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

The building reflects the construction style common in early 1900s America as new states built their own courthouses to establish civic identity. Visitors can see how the architecture was meant to express the authority and stability that a young community needed.

The jail building from that era sits between the courthouse and the newer court building and is now used by county administration offices. Visitors can observe the architecture and layout of this historic complex from the outside.

The 1909 jail was built by the Pauley Jail Co., with John Mulligan as contractor, because prisoners kept breaking out of the older lockup. It is a two-story building of about 35 by 25 feet with a corbelled cornice, set just east of the courthouse and facing south.
