Grand Forks County Courthouse is a Beaux Arts style building in Grand Forks, North Dakota, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is a "richly decorated white limestone structure in a modified Classical Revival style, topped with a massive cast iron dome."[2]: 7.8
It was built between 1913 and 1914 and designed by Buechner & Orth, a Minnesotan architecture firm. The courthouse is identified as the largest and most expensive of thirteen B&O-designed county courthouses in North Dakota built from 1905 until 1919.[3]
Considerable additional detail on the building is provided in its NRHP nomination document.[2] The NRHP listing was for just the one contributing building, with no specific property area identified.[1]
