Sheridan County Courthouse, Sheridan, WY
**Sheridan County Courthouse** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 82001836, date listed 19821115
Burkett and Main St.
Sheridan, WY (Sheridan County)
Architecturally, the Sheridan County Courthouse is one of the most imposing courthouses in Wyoming; it is, perhaps, one of the most monumental government buildings in the state, outside of the Capital City of Cheyenne. The Courthouse exemplifies the trend in Wyoming, at the turn of the century, toward construction of stately government buildings that were impressive and authoritative in character. As great as is its architectural importance, however, the historic importance of the Sheridan County Courthouse, and the County Jail, is even greater. Built during a boom period in Northern Wyoming's history, the Courthouse symbolizes the determination of the people of Sheridan County to achieve an element of permanence. More than any other type of structure, it is the courthouse that reflects stability in a people.
Built in 1904-1905, with wealth derived from the taming of a harsh land, the Sheridan County Courthouse is a tangible expression of that stability. (1)
