Todd County Courthouse, Sheriff's House, and Jail
The Todd County Courthouse, Sheriff's House, and Jail, located at 215 First Avenue South in Long Prairie, Todd County in the U.S. state of Minnesota is an avant garde Italian Renaissance buff-colored brick structure, built on a prominent knoll. It was designed by the Minneapolis architecture firm of Kees and Fisk, and built by John Aiton of Glenwood,〔Original contract between Todd County Commissioners and John Aiton, dated May 2, 1883, on county auditor's office, Todd County〕 for $20,000.〔 The jail cells were provided by J.P. Pauley and Bros of St Louis.〔Original Contract between the commissioners of Todd County and John Aiton, builder, dated May 2, 1883, in county auditor's office, Todd County〕 The building is surrounded by a fieldstone retaining wall and topped with a cupola.
In 1996, most of the court's offices were moved to a newly constructed government building nearby. The historic courthouse was used as storage for records and equipment during the late 1990s and 2000s, however its future was uncertain. In 2010, the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota listed it as one of the 10 Most Endangered Historic Places in the state. A structural assessment of the building found that it was in good condition and with some renovations could continue to be used as offices. The issue was put to a vote in 2010 with Long Prairie residents narrowly supporting a plan to renovate it.〔http://ksax.com/printStory.cfm?id=1709258〕 Renovations took place in 2011-2012 and the building now houses various county offices.
