Chaves County Courthouse

The Chaves County Courthouse, located on the 400 block of Main Street in Roswell, New Mexico, is the center of government of Chaves [County, New Mexico|Chaves County]. The courthouse was built in 1911 after Roswell's citizens learned that New Mexico would become a state the next year. Isaac [Hamilton Rapp], of the Colorado firm I.H. and W.M. Rapp, designed the courthouse in the "monumental civic" adaptation of the Beaux-Arts style. A cupola with green tiles tops the courthouse.
The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 15, 1989.
