The Ida County Courthouse, located in Ida Grove, Iowa, United States, was built in 1883. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 as a part of the County Courthouses in Iowa Thematic Resource.[1] The courthouse is the second building the county has used for court functions and county administration.
The first Ida County courthouse was the first building built in Ida Grove.[2] It was destroyed in a fire along with the county records in 1877. Construction on the present courthouse was begun in 1880 and completed in 1883. It was built in the Italianate style and features a 110-foot (33.5 m) tower. The building is built of brick and is two and one half stories tall. It was remodeled twice in the 1930s to increase the office space. An administration annex was added in 1982.
