Description

"Benson County Courthouse"
I've always admired the grandeur of the Benson County courthouse in Minnewaukan and remember, as a young child, being in awe of it when my dad would bring me along there on farming related business. The courthouse was built in 1900 at a cost of $40,000 (talk about inflation!). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. According to wiki, it was "One of the last major public buildings in North Dakota to express the Picturesque aesthetic of the nineteenth century prior to the onset of Academic Revivalism".
