Black Hawk County Courthouse, Government building in Waterloo, United States
The Black Hawk County Courthouse exhibits polished red and black stone surfaces across its 101,700 square feet structure in downtown Waterloo.
The current courthouse, completed in 1964 for $2,850,000, replaced two previous structures, with the county seat relocating from Cedar Falls to Waterloo in 1855.
The International Style architecture of the courthouse represents the mid-20th century shift toward functional design in American civic buildings.
The courthouse contains multiple county administrative offices and conducts regular public meetings, serving residents of Black Hawk County with governmental services.
After the sheriff's office moved to Lafayette Street in 1995, the courthouse underwent internal reorganization to expand its administrative functions.
