Old McLean County Courthouse (Washburn, North Dakota)

Built in 1907-08, this excellent structure replaced the county's 1905 courthouse that still stands in Washburn's downtown. This one was designed by the Hancock Brothers. It is similar to the Luna County Courthouse in Deming, New Mexico.

 

Unfortunately it was demolished in 2013, despite the fact that it was a National Register of Historic Places property.

 

Washburn is a great little North Dakota town located near the center of the state between Minot and Bismarck on a series of hills overlooking the Missouri River.
