Main St. in Safford, Arizona that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a two-story red brick building above a concrete foundation that includes a raised basement. The main part of the east-facing building is {{convert|83|ft|m}} by {{convert|62|ft|m}}, and there is a one-story {{convert|17|ft|m}} by {{convert|49|ft|m}} north wing made of brick, and a small ell in the back. It is the fifth courthouse of the county, following one in Safford during 1881-83, two in Solomonville, Arizona during 1883-1915, and the 1901 Riggs building at Main and Central in Safford during 1915-16. After Arizona achieved statehood in 1912, Safford was chosen as the location for Graham's county seat in a 1915 election, moving it four miles west from Solomonville, the county seat since 1883.[2] A $50,000 bond was authorized to finance construction of a courthouse with courtrooms, offices, and jail. The Classic Revival/Neo-Classic style courthouse was built in 1916. Its construction cost $44,404.[3] J. A. McAllister, a justice in the Arizona Supreme Court, and Jesse A. Udall, a chief justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, began their careers here.[3]{{rp|6}} In 1982, the interior public areas retained the original wooden moldings, interior doors, door trim, and wainscoting, and wooden balustrade and newel post of the main staircase. An ell at the back, {{convert|29|ft|m}} by {{convert|49|ft|m}}, that held a jail, was demolished in 1978, leaving markings from where it joined on the current small ell at the back.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] Although the building is historic, it still serves as location of Graham County's Superior Court, in 2016.[4] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2009a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}{{Arizona-NRHP-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.graham.az.gov/wp-content/uploads/Graham-Countys-Fifth-Courthouse.pdf |title=Graham County Courthouses|accessdate=July 14, 2016}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=82002077}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Graham County Courthouse|publisher=National Park Service|accessdate=July 7, 2016|author=Thomas Rothweiler and Roger Brevoort |date=March 1982}} with {{NRHP url|id=82002077|photos=y|title=five photos from 1980}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.graham.az.gov/courts-judicial/clerk-of-the-superior-court/ |title=Clerk of the Superior Court, Graham County, Arizona |accessdate=July 14, 2016}} 8 : County courthouses in Arizona|Safford, Arizona|Buildings and structures in Graham County, Arizona|Courthouses on the National Register of Historic Places in Arizona|Government buildings completed in 1916|1916 establishments in Arizona|Neoclassical architecture in Arizona|National Register of Historic Places in Graham County, Arizona |
