Menominee County Courthouse

The Menominee County Courthouse is a government building located on Tenth Avenue between Eighth and Tenth Streets in Menominee, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1974.
Menominee County was created in 1863, and included at the time the land that now covers Menominee, Iron, and Dickinson Counties. The county seat was established in Menominee, and a clerk's office and jail were quickly built. In 1874, county residents decided to build a courthouse, and bonds were sold to fund the construction. A new plot of land in Menominee was found and purchased for the courthouse, and Chicago architect Gurdon P. Randall was hired to design the new building. Contractors Cummings and Hagan were hired to build the courthouse, and construction began in 1874. The building was completed in 1875 at a cost of $29,680. The building originally housed a jail on the first floor, county offices on the second floor, and the courtroom on the third floor.
