Pitkin County Courthouse
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.
