    Our docent gave an excellent tour, took time to answer questions for our group of 4; she was very enthusiastic about the building and history. I highly recommend the tour; anyone not up for the winding staircase to the dome can skip that part at the end. It is definitely the most beautiful state house in the country! See more..

    The Woodbury County Courthouse is a treasure. It is supposedly the example of Prairie Architecture in the world. It was designed by Architect William L. Steele, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. The outside is adorned with great carved panels over the entrances. Inside, intricate terra cotta designs adorn the large central area, topped by a stained glass dome. Painted murals line the upper level of the central area portraying a primitive court, urban life, rural life, & a tribute to World War I soldiers. In one corner is a display case with trophies won by the American Legion Monahan Post Band at international competitions at the beginning of the twentieth century. The local County Board of Supervisors have been restoring the building for its 2018 Centennial, although a number of emergency repairs have also been necessary. It is a truly amazing sight for architecture fans; take time to see the details. See more..
