Prior to the construction of this courthouse, another courthouse was built for the county in 1880.[2] It burned down in 1883, and this courthouse was built by Gus Senieur a few months later.[2] By 2012, it was the second oldest courthouse in the state of Montana.[3]
The courthouse was designed by Kees & Fish in the Queen Anne architectural style.[2][4] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 29, 1980.[1][4]
