It is the third dedicated courthouse to house the county's offices since it was created in 1843. HistoryCedar Falls was Black Hawk County's first county seat. The county never had a courthouse there, but instead, rented office space for its needs.[1] The Black Hawk County Board of Commissioners decided to move the county seat to Waterloo on December 10, 1855. Judge John Randall was given the authority to build the county's first courthouse, and to decide its location. A contract for its construction was let for $12,747.61, but its final costs came in at about $27,000.[1] The two-story Federal-style building featured a cupola and six massive two-story pillars on the main facade. The first attempt to replace the original courthouse was defeated on November 8, 1898, but a resolution passed for a new courthouse and jail on November 6, 1900. The two-story Beaux Arts structure was built on a raised basement. It featured a central tower capped with a dome, and a single story portico over the main entrance. It was dedicated in the autumn of 1902, and the old courthouse was demolished five years later. The current facility opened in August 1964 and replaced the 1902 structure, which had become inadequate. The building contains {{convert|101700|sqft|m2|lk=in|sigfig=2}} of space, and its exterior is composed of polished red and black stone.[1] It was built for $2,850,000.[2] At the time of opening, it housed all county offices including the sheriff and jail, which moved to their own facility across Lafayette Street in 1995.[3] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Stanek|first=Edward and Jacqueline|title=Iowa's Magnificent County Courthouses|year=1976|publisher=Wallace-Homestead|location=Des Moines|page=20|isbn=0-87069-189-9}} {{County courthouses in Iowa |state=collapsed}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.iowacourts.gov/for-the-public/iowa-courts-history/iowa-county-courthouse-history/black-hawk-county-courthouse|title=Black Hawk County Courthouse|publisher=Iowa Judicial Branch|accessdate=2015-12-13|last=|first=}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Black Hawk County Courthouse History|url=http://www.co.black-hawk.ia.us/admin/bhc_courthouse_history.pdf|date=February 2011|last=Veeder| first=Grant|publisher=Black Hawk County Auditor|accessdate=2015-07-21}} 5 : Government buildings completed in 1964|Modernist architecture in Iowa|County courthouses in Iowa|Buildings and structures in Black Hawk County, Iowa|Buildings and structures in Waterloo, Iowa |
