Otero County Courthouse - La Junta, Colorado - Courthouses on Waymarking.com

My Description:

This two story white brick and glass building is located at 13 W. Third St. in La Junta, Co. This cornerstone is on the southern entrance to the courthouse. This cornerstone is on the western side, which appears to only have a single story. The cornerstone reads:

"Otero County Court House
Laid by
The M. W. Grand Lodge
A. F. & A. M.
Nov. 15. 1958
Glenn B. Van Fleet G. M."

The glass in this building is tinted dark and is reflective. The northern entrance shows the name of the Building - Otero County Courthouse.

From a link provided by Ron Davis - Director - La Junta Economic Development:
