The Chaves County Courthouse, located on the 400 block of Main Street in Roswell, New Mexico, is the center of government of Chaves County. The courthouse was built in 1911 after Roswell's citizens learned that New Mexico would become a state the next year. [2] Isaac Hamilton Rapp, of the Colorado firm I.H. and W.M. Rapp, [3] designed the courthouse in the "monumental civic" adaptation of the Beaux-Arts style. [4] A cupola with green tiles tops the courthouse. [5]
