I've read there was some discussion at the time of planning the then new courthouse regarding what should be valued and take pride of place. In "Adobe Days" Bixby Smith put it dryly,
"When the site was wanted by the men folk of the town, the school building was moved...and the hill itself decapitated."
Does anyone know why the Courthouse was so fragile? Was it the internal structure, the way the stone was fastened to the frame, the mortar or something else?
And who were the architects? Denver PL says Curlett, Eisen & Cuthbertson. Richard Schave lists Vawter & Eisen.

MichaelRyerson's new fragment made me think of
Chicago's Tribune Tower. Nice collection you've got :-)
