In 1872, before there
were any other buildings in the town of Ida Grove, the first courthouse was
built. Fire destroyed the building along with county records in 1877.
The present
courthouse was begun in 1880 and finished in 1883. It was built in Victorian
style and has a 110-foot tower. In 1930 and again in 1936, the interior of
the building was remodeled to include more office space. An administration
annex was added in 1982. The two and one-half story building is still
serving the county.
