The Curry County Courthouse is a three-and-a-half-storey Art Deco building of cream-coloured brick, built in 1936 under the federal Public Works Administration during the New Deal. The architects were the El Paso firm Trost & Trost, who designed many of the better public buildings of the southwest. The detailing — fluted pilasters, stylised eagles, geometric stonework — is restrained for the style but consistent throughout.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the courthouse is still the working seat of Curry County government. The interior lobby, with its terrazzo floors and original lighting, is open during weekday business hours.
