The Adams County Courthouse in Brighton, Colorado, located at 22 S 4th Ave., was built in 1906. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]

In 2006 it was serving as the Brighton City Hall.[2]

Its original portion is a two-and-a-half-story brick building built in 1906. It has a red-tiled roof and a cupola rising to 91 feet (28 m), which was later removed. The building was nearly doubled in area in 1939 in a Public Works Administration-funded expansion which used matching materials. The expansion created a monumental pedimented Classical Revival entrance with Tuscan columns on the west side of the building. The building is about 139 by 87 feet (42 m × 27 m) in plan.[2]

The original building was designed by John James Huddart and built by contractor A.B. McDonald. Denver architects Lester L. Jones and Richard O. Parry designed the expansion.[2]
