History

[edit ]

The original courthouse, a simple two-story building, was built in 1865 by William R. Craig and F. W. Wood, costing 22,500ドル at the time.[1] This was a vast improvement upon its predecessors, consisting of small offices in local stores and a cabin at one point. The first addition was completed in 1882. This added a large wing to the square building where the courts and department offices are today. In 1936, an identical wing was added with similar purposes. A mural outside the courtrooms shows the history of Nebraska City and of the courthouse.
