1938 Lincoln County Courthouse, county courthouse in Pioche, Nevada, United States

The 1938 Lincoln County Courthouse is a two-story Art Moderne building in Pioche, Nevada, designed by Las Vegas architect A.L. Worswick. Its simplified Art Deco-Art Moderne style, known as PWA Moderne, features a flat roofline and horizontal lines. The building has served as the county courthouse, jail, sheriff's office, and state office building since its completion in 1939.

The 1938 courthouse replaced an 1871 building that cost about $800,000, whose final payment happened to fall in 1938. A 1937 bond issue and a $26,800 Public Works Administration grant covering 45 percent of the cost funded the new building. After all first-round bids exceeded the $60,000 budget, L.F. Dow of Los Angeles and Las Vegas won with a $49,347 bid and completed the courthouse in 1939.

The courthouse has housed the county jail, the sheriff's office and state offices alongside the courts since 1939. Its name recalls the 1871 "million-dollar courthouse" it replaced, whose final payment fell in the same year the new building opened.

The building sits on Main Street in the center of Pioche and is easy to reach on foot. Since it functions as an active courthouse, visitors should check whether access to certain areas is available and observe standard business hours.

The old 1871 courthouse cost about $800,000, and its final payment was made in 1938, the same year the county issued bonds for its replacement. The new building's low bid of $49,347 came in 1938 after an earlier round of bids all exceeded the $60,000 budget; contractor L.F. Dow of Los Angeles and Las Vegas finished it in 1939.
