Pima County Courthouse

1927 Spanish colonial-style building. Still in use as a court, so access is limited. Arizona became a Territory of the United States in 1863 and over the next several months counties were organized. Tucson, the seat of Pima County, became the capital of the Arizona Territory in 1867 and remained so for ten years. From 1866 to 1868, Pima County business was conducted in some buildings rented from Solomon Warner. Increased population and activity made it clear that Pima County needed a permanent courthouse.  At present the building occupants include the Pima County Consolidated Justice Court, Pima County Treasurer, Pima County Assessor and the Pima County Recorder.
