ALAMOSA — The original Alamosa County Courthouse is now officially for sale. An open house for those who may be interested in purchasing the building is set for Saturday, November 3rd from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The building is one of the earliest structures built for the Alamosa County government having served as a functional courthouse for over 80 years. The structure is over 20,000 square ft. and includes a basement, hardwood floors and trim.

Alamosa County Administrator Gigi Dennis noted that the courthouse is a beautiful building. The county is hopeful that it will continue to be utilized.
