The Blaine County Courthouse in Hailey, Idaho is a historic building built in 1883 to serve Alturas County, which later became Blaine County. It is a three story building that held county offices, a jail, and a courtroom, and, at $40,000 building cost, was the most expensive building in the Idaho Territory, hurting Alturas County financially.[2] Located at 1st and Croy Sts., it was designed by Horace Greeley Knapp in Italianate style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]

The brick building stands on a raised cutstone basement. According to its National Register nomination, its "most striking features are its cast iron window sills. Originally cast iron pediments capped these windows as well."[3]:2
