The Sheridan County Courthouse was constructed in 1904-1905 with elements of two architectural styles, Neo-Classical Revival and Beaux Arts. Architecturally, the Courthouse is one of the most imposing courthouses in Wyoming and one of the most monumental government buildings in the state, outside of the Capital City of Cheyenne. The Courthouse exemplified the trend in Wyoming, at the turn of the century, toward construction of stately government buildings that were impressive and authoritative in character. Built during a boom period in Northern Wyoming's history, the Courthouse symbolizes the determination of the people of Sheridan County to achieve an element of permanence. Located on the southwest corner of the courthouse complex, the sheriff's office-jail was constructed in 1913. The jail affirmed that the citizens of Sheridan County would remain a continuing, positive force in the history of Wyoming and became an integral part of the Courthouse Square.
