Crook County Courthouse, County courthouse in Prineville, United States.

The Crook County Courthouse is a brick and stone building displaying early 20th-century architectural features, positioned in downtown Prineville. It houses courtrooms and administrative offices that handle legal proceedings and county business throughout the week.

A courthouse was completed in February 1886 at a cost of $5,474, built by contractor H. A. Belknap; an 1889 courthouse was partially destroyed by fire on February 4, 1904. In January 1907 the county let a $50,000 contract to the Prineville Construction Company, funded by $43,500 from the county and $6,500 raised by Prineville citizens. Designed by architect Walter D. Pugh and built under contractor John B. Shipp, the present courthouse was completed in May 1909.

The courthouse serves the community as a place where important public matters and local civic affairs take place. Residents gather here for hearings and official business that affects their lives and community decisions.

The courthouse is located in downtown Prineville and is easily accessible on foot or by car with parking available. Visitors should note this is an active government facility, so security procedures and formal conduct are required when entering.

The 47-ton clock tower holds a 1907 clock with its original crank system, wound by hand once a week. The basement, its walls standing entirely above ground, was cut from gray stone quarried about a mile west of the site and was meant to hold three large vaults and the jail.
