1891 Courthouse Renovation Project

Restoration Is Our Legacy
The citizens of Pinal County have rallied around the 1891 Courthouse since its completion and have recognized the need to maintain the courthouse for generations to enjoy.

Our citizens are proud to be residents of this county and of Arizona. Our stories will continue to entertain and intrigue folks from around the world. Please share your stories with us and become part of Pinal County’s Legacy.

Fund Raising
The 1891 Pinal County Courthouse Brick Pavers Project was established as a fund raiser for the restoration of the courthouse. It continues to be a great success. If you would like to be part of the 1891 Courthouse Legacy, you may purchase a brick ($50 each) and write a message to be engraved on it, following the guidelines on the form.

If you have any questions regarding this project, please call Ernie Feliz, Pinal County Grants Coordinator at (520) 866-7221 or write to ernie.feliz@pinalcountyaz.gov. Thank you very much for your help in saving the 1891 Second Pinal County Courthouse for future generations to enjoy.

Citizen Memoirs
"The challenge to renovate the 1891 Second Pinal County Courthouse into a vibrant, useful facility will require determination, conviction and a sense of obligation to future generations." ~ Swan Architects, Inc.
"When I was 5, I tagged along with my mother on an errand that took her into the courthouse. As soon as we walked in, I saw that fabulous split staircase and I was forever hooked." ~ Ernie Feliz
"My 1st impression of this magnificent building was in 1998 when I had to come into Florence to get our building permit. It was love at first sight. Since then, I have had the opportunity to help with the historic tours of the courthouse. I dress in 1890s clothing every year. The public loves it!" ~ Cheri
"Each year I take my daughter to the Florence Light Parade, and that is followed up with the lighting of the old couorthouse. It is a legacy moment between my daughter and I. With this restoration she can share the same event with her children someday. " ~ Mark
"I highly recommend going on your own personal walking/driving tour of historic Florence. Many 100-year-old buildings lovingly preserved and documented by the city historical society. Gotta love that court house. " ~ Christine A. (Cerritos, CA)
