Roswell judge responds after courthouse named among 'ugliest public buildings in the U.S.'

For two decades, motor vehicle infractions, code violations, citations for public drunkenness or fighting and other matters have been resolved in a plain-looking cinder-block building across the street from Roswell's City Hall.

Roswell Municipal Court sits at N. Richardson Avenue and W. 5th Street in a rectangular box built in the mid-20th century as a New Mexico Gas Co. office. The city acquired the property and, following minor renovations, moved the municipal court there in 2004.
