The Beaver County Courthouse is a historic building in Beaver, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[1]
The courthouse was built in 1882 in a Late Victorian architectural style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1] Construction took place from 1876 to 1882, and a vault and jail were added to the rear in later years.[3]
It is a two-story red brick building, with basement and attic, built upon foundation of whitewashed sandstone. It is 39 by 55 feet (12 m × 17 m) in plan, not including the rear additions.[3]
The building later became home to the Beaver DUP Courthouse Museum, operated in the summer by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers.[4]
The NRHP document states that the architect is unknown,[3] but it was designed by architect Richard Kletting.[citation needed]
It was built by William Stokes, a Union Army veteran who was previously the U.S. marshal of Beaver. Budget for the building was $15,000. It held the Second Judicial Court which served all of southern Utah, plus county offices and records. It is a three-story red brick building, with a basement of black igneous rock.[2]
