'''Pima County Courthouse''' is the former main county courthouse building in downtown [[Tucson, Arizona]] It is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. It was designed by [[Roy Place]] in 1928 in [[Mission Revival architecture|Mission Revival]] and [[Spanish Colonial Revival architecture|Spanish Colonial Revival style]] architecture.<ref>[http://www.arizonaheritagetraveler.org/templates/content-view.php?nid=2&sid=546 Arizona Heritage Traveler – Public Buildings – Pima County Courthouse]</ref><br />
<br />
The building previously housed the Pima County Superior Court (1930–1977) and later, the Pima County Consolidated Justice Court (1977–2015), which handled lower-level state criminal matters and small claims cases. As of February 2015, court proceedings for Justice Court were held in a newer building shared with other Pima County departments, which is located at 240 North Stone Avenue. Superior Court proceedings were held in the Pima County Superior Court building, located at 110 West Congress Street.<br />
<br />
As this building was projected to be vacant by 2017, as the various departments and court functions relocate to newer facilities, Pima County was, in 2015, planning to convert the historic Courthouse to museum space.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.downtowntucson.org/2015/04/county-aims-put-museums-historic-courthouse/|title=County Aims to Put Museums in Historic Courthouse |date=2015-04-10|website=Downtown Tucson Partnership|language=en-US|access-date=2016-06-18}}</ref> The county was in discussions with [[University of Arizona|the University of Arizona]] and the [[Tucson Museum of Art]] to house exhibits; there was to be a new café, and a memorial to the victims of the [[2011 Tucson shooting]] that seriously wounded then-U.S. Representative [[Gabby Giffords]].<br />

In 2020 the [[University of Arizona Mineral Museum]] (UAMM), formerly located on the campus of the [[University of Arizona]] in [[Tucson]], was in the process of moving its location to the Pima County Courthouse in downtown Tucson.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Demers |first1=Jasmine |title=UA's Gem and Mineral Museum is moving in 2020 |url=https://tucson.com/thisistucson/tucsonlife/ua-s-gem-and-mineral-museum-is-moving-in-and/article_7652d562-eeca-11e9-bfb3-5b5d9e4b9a36.html |website=Arizona Daily Star |language=en |date=October 14, 2019}}</ref><br />
