Pitkin County Courthouse, Victorian courthouse in Aspen, United States.

The Pitkin County Courthouse features red brick walls, stone foundations, and multiple tall windows arranged symmetrically across its two-story structure.

The courthouse construction began in July 1890 during the Colorado Silver Boom, when Aspen grew from a mining camp into a city of 10,000 residents.

This courthouse gained national media attention in 1977 during the trial of singer Claudine Longet, marking Aspen's transformation into a celebrity destination.

The courthouse stands on East Main Street with updated security systems, modernized facilities, and a law library accessible to case participants.

The Lady Justice statue at the building entrance differs from traditional representations as she does not wear a blindfold over her eyes.
