Lincoln County Courthouse
Lincoln County Courthouse, County courthouse with Renaissance Revival architecture in Pioche, Nevada.
The Lincoln County Courthouse exhibits two stories of brick front and rubble stone masonry walls with a second-floor jail entrance from the hillside.
Built in 1872, the courthouse cost exceeded $800,000 due to financial mismanagement, leading to decades of debt that influenced the county's development.
The structure represents the establishment of law and administration in Nevada's mining region during the late nineteenth century development period.
The building functions as a museum displaying local history exhibits, allowing visitors to explore the former courthouse and jail facilities.
The construction expenses of $800,000 in 1872 would equal approximately twenty million dollars in current value, earning it the name Million Dollar Courthouse.
