Stark County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Dickinson, North Dakota, United States, which was built in 1936-1937. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1985.[1]
It was built for $213,000, which then represented quite a building boom, giving encouragement "to the local population that the hardest part of the Depression had ended."[2]
It, along with the Hettinger County Courthouse (in Mott) is significant for its Art Deco architecture. Stark County Courthouse is more decorated. It was designed by William F. Kurke, a prolific architect.[2][3]
