U.S. Courthouse - Santa Fe, NM - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"Federal funds for a "capitol" building in Santa Fe were appropriated by Congress in 1851, 1854, 1860 and 1886. In 1885, the 'building 'consisted only of a basement and one and a half stories and remained in this incomplete state for nearly thirty years.

Finally completed in 1889, the courthouse was constructed in Greek Revivals architectural style. A circular stone wall and iron fence were also constructed around the federal grounds at this time. In 1929-1930 an addition was built on the north side of the original structure, done in the same architectural style as the earlier building. The walls of the three-storied courthouse are constructed of rough stone taken from the Hyde Park region near Santa Fe. The door lintels, window frames and ornamental trim are of dressed' stone quarried at Cerrillos, New Mexico." (visit link)
