Old Courthouse Museum, Sioux Falls, SD
Old Courthouse Museum, 200 West 6th Street, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The Old Minnehaha County Courthouse, which was the seat of county government from 1890 to 1962, is one of the oldest buildings in Sioux Falls. The Romanesque Revival building was built from locally quarried quartzite, a common building material in Sioux Falls at the time. The three-story building features a tall clock tower over the front entrance. The building's doorways are surrounded by Roman archways; the second- and third-story windows are also arched, while the first-story windows are rectangular. The attic windows have decorative dormers aligned with the front walls. The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 10, 1973. The building is now operated as the Old Courthouse Museum by the Siouxland Heritage Museums Alliance. There are three floors of exhibits about area history and culture.
