Constructed 1922.
The Harding County Courthouse, in Mosquero, is a handsome Neo-classical building with strong Greek Revival style accents, originally built to serve the county as a school. Named for President Warren G. Harding, Harding County is the least populated of all New Mexico counties, with less than 800 residents. The young county was devastated by the Dust Bowl and Great Depression in the 1930s. Harding County Courthouse is well-maintained and offers visitors a glimpse into an era after New Mexico statehood when several new counties were created on the eastern frontier of the state.
