The iconic Art Deco Boulder County Courthouse was designed by Glen Huntington and built in the 1930s. It replaced an earlier building that burnt down.
The additions were built on the east and west ends to create more office space. The design approach was to create backdrops that did not draw attention from the main building. Each addition is composed of two, three-story blocks joined by a recessed, glass entry. The exterior relates to the old building by using the same light-colored sandstone and vertical bands of windows.
