The Weld County Courthouse, at 9th St. and 9th Ave. in Greeley, Colorado, is a Classical Revival-style building built in 1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
It was built of Indiana limestone and marble and has a colossal portico of Ionic columns.[1]
It was deemed "significant for its architectural style, which is unique in the Greeley area, and because it is both the center of and a visible focal point for county government."[1] Its National Register nomination asserted "There is a great integrity and dignity in the total design. This, plus its careful detailing and lavish use of classical details and motifs, has combined to produce a county courthouse virtually unparalleled in most of Colorado's county seats."[1]
The courthouse was designed by prolific architect William N. Bowman.
The "Lady Liberty of Greeley" statue on the courthouse grounds was restored and re-installed in 2006.
When it was completed in 1917, Weld County shared judges with Larimer and Boulder counties. It is the sixth county courthouse building of the 19th Judicial Circuit.[2] The first was a log cabin.
