McHenry County, in the central part of North Dakota, was formed in 1873. It was originally part of Buffalo County. The McHenry County Courthouse was built in 1907 to replace an earlier one which burned in April, 1905. The courthouse was designed by Buechner & Orth in a Beaux Arts style. (Buechner & Orth designed many public buildings in Minnesota and the Dakota's in the early 1900's.) The building continues to serve as the county courthouse.
Year of construction: 1907
