The Chaffee County Courthouse and Jail Buildings, at 501 E. Main St. in Buena Vista, Colorado, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
The courthouse is a two-story five-bay brick building, with brick laid in stretcher bond, on an ashlar foundation. It was built after the county seat was switched from Salida, Colorado.[2]
The jail is a smaller building. Both were built in 1882.[2]
A different Chaffee County Courthouse, built in Salida in 1929 was designed by architect Walter DeMordaunt, after the county voted to move the courthouse back to Salida.[3]
