The Black Hawk County Courthouse, located at 316 East 5th Street in Waterloo, Iowa, is the third structure to house the county's offices since it was created in 1843.[1] The current facility opened in August 1964 and replaced a 1902 structure which had become inadequate. The building contains 101,700 square feet (9,400 m2) of space, and its exterior is composed of polished red and black stone.[1] It was built for $2,850,000.[2] At the time of opening, it housed all county offices including the sheriff and jail which moved to their own facility across Lafayette Street in 1995.[3]
