Using local clay and sand, the WPA workers produced more than 450,000 bricks at a kiln located north of Alamosa.  The courthouse continues to house a variety of county offices.   See related WPA properties.

In a recent restoration project, workers replaced the leaky red-tile roof, re-pointed the brick masonry, restored the windows, made the arcade accessible to the disabled, and added wood-framed, custom-made storm windows to blend into the elegant façade.  The 1937 cornerstone was taken out and its well-preserved contents catalogued and reinstalled along with new items, including a list of county projects made possible by SHF grants totaling over $277,000 matched by county funds of more than $100,000.
