History
The first Sac County courthouse was a two-story brick building that was constructed in 1860.[2][3] The second courthouse, which was built in 1873, was destroyed in a fire in 1888. The present courthouse was built in 1889. J.M. Russell designed the building that is basically vernacular architecture with a reference to the Romanesque in the entrances arches.[4] The county used $15,000 in insurance money and the same amount raised by county citizens to build the courthouse.[2]
