Washington County Courthouse

The elegant Federalist courthouse in Akron, Colorado is a landmark on the high plains. Constructed in 1906 the well preserved structure was carefully refinished on the exterior with a new roof, repair to the formed sheet metal cupola and cornice, mortar repointing and new high performance paint. Many electrical and other attachments to exterior brick walls and roof were identified and removed. A new elevator and accessible restroom were carefully fit inside and all new woodwork was designed to match the original. Federal standards for courtroom planning and safety were adapted to the historic building. The structure is now much more useable. Finishes, fixtures and equipment been upgraded to serve the county for decades to come.
