Situated on North Dakota’s border with Montana, Golden Valley’s courthouse reflects some Prairie Style influences applied to a restrained Colonial Revival building. Golden Valley was one of the last counties established in the state, so this building departs from earlier Classical Revival-styled courthouses. The courthouse is raised on a podium, with a slightly projecting central entrance. Above the paired columns of the entrance, a simplified Palladian motif fills the pedimented gable. Brick details consist of pronounced quoins, keystones set into jack-arched lintels, and belt courses in a color contrasting the walls. The original sixteen-pane casement windows have been replaced. A. J. Weinberger of Montana practiced in the southwestern part of North Dakota in the 1920s and 1930s.
