"The 1936 Art Deco Style Curry County Courthouse is a three
and a half story, cruciform plan building with PWA era bas relief
embellishments. Designed by Schaefer and Merrell, the courthouse occupies
a Shelbyville style court square where it fronts the east edge of the
square adjacent to the street. This location was determined by the
existing courthouse which occupied the center of the square until its
destruction in 1954.
"The 1936 Curry County Courthouse in Clovis is
architecturally significant as a good example of Art Deco Styling
designed by architect Robert E. Merrell; and is historically significant
for its association with the Public Works Administration era of
courthouse construction." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
