National Register of Historic Places - Swift County Courthouse
Statement of Significance: The Swift County Courthouse is significant both as an example of the Richardsonian Romanesque influence on design of late nineteenth century public buildings and as the location of Swift county's government offices since 1897. By 1888, Swift County had outgrown the courthouse which had housed all county offices since 1876. In 1889 the Minnesota Legislature authorized the County Board of Commissioners to issue bonds for the construction of the courthouse. The architectural plans of the firm of Beuchner and Jacobsen were accepted and the contract for the execution of those plans were awarded to the Deeks Company in 1897. The courthouse was officially dedicated in June of 1898.
