Pope County Courthouse
United States historic place From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pope County Courthouse is the courthouse and government center of Pope County, Minnesota, United States, in the city of Glenwood. It was built in 1930 as a replacement for a prior courthouse on the same site dating to 1879. The current courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for having local significance in politics/government and architecture. Its historic significance derives from being the long-serving seat of Pope County government and for being a well-preserved example of the replacement courthouses built in a few Minnesota counties in the 1930s.[2]
