This structure served as the Allamakee County Courthouse from 1867 to 1939. It was designed and constructed by the firm of Hale, Jenkins, and Pratt. The building is located directly across the street from the 1939 courthouse that replaced it (seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/courthouselover/20479858196/in/date... ). The county's previous 1861 courthouse in Lansing, Iowa (seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/courthouselover/20512379061/in/date... ) also stands to this day.

This edifice was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
