Woodbury County Courthouse, Prairie School courthouse in Sioux City, United States.
The Woodbury County Courthouse features a 157-foot tower, constructed with Roman brick, granite trim, and terra cotta ornamental elements on its exterior walls.
Completed in 1918 at a cost of $850,000, this courthouse replaced an earlier Second Empire structure that served the county from 1878 to 1914.
The building represents Prairie School architecture through its horizontal lines, integration with landscape, and metal grillwork designed by architect George Grant Elmslie.
The courthouse maintains separate functional areas, with public offices in the square base and legal departments housed in the eight-story tower section.
Interior features include marble floors, a central rotunda with a glass mosaic drinking fountain, and metalwork produced by Minneapolis-based Crown Iron Works.
