Pinal County, Arizona ˜˜˜˜˜˜ Annual Budget 2003 - 2004 Preserving History 1891 Making History 2003 Pinal County Superior Court Buildings The original Pinal County Superior Court Building, now the McFarland State Park, was constructed in 1878. Besides its use as a courthouse, it was also a jail and later a hospital. The next courthouse was built in 1891 (pictured) using the Victorian-themed architecture of that period. This courthouse has the notoriety of being the oldest continually used government building in Arizona. Plans are currently underway to restore the building to its original configuration. The next courthouse was built in 1961. This court is currently being used for the Superior Court and Clerk of the Superior Court. The new Superior Court building (pictured) is scheduled to be completed in January of 2004. This new court will be 145,000 square feet, 4-story, with 10 courtrooms, Grand Jury room, Judicial Chambers and offices for the Clerk of the Court, Adult Probation and the County Attorney’s Criminal Division. The location of the new court is next to the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office and Detention Center. This location allows for inmates or persons awaiting trial to be escorted from the detention facility to the court through an enclosed walkway, thus saving time and money on transportation costs.
