The right side of this building with three floors was built in 1905 as the Ayers Hotel. In 1936 when the county's previous 1899 courthouse burned down, the county took over this storefront structure. The middle building was built in 1907 and is incorporated into the courthouse. The portion of the building on the far left is the county's sheriff's department.

Asotin is located to the south of Lewiston, Idaho and Clarkston, Washington in the southeastern corner of the state.
