==History==
Bremer County's first courthouse was a small frame building used from 1854-1857. It was replaced by a brick structure measuring 43 by 63 feet at a cost of $23,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Bremer County Courthouse )〕 It was used for a variety of civic purposes until 1869 when the county board of supervisors limited its use to political and county societies. A fireproof building was built next to the existing courthouse in 1870 to house the county records.
Throughout the 1920s and 30s conversations were held at various times concerning a new courthouse to replace the 1857 structure, which had become too small. The county applied for funding from the Public Works Administration (PWA), in 1935 to assist with construction costs and received approval of the request of $60,750. County supervisors retained Waterloo architect Mortimer B. Cleveland to design the new building and a debate began about moving the county seat to Tripoli, the supervisors tabled it. In March 1936, voters approved a referendum to fund the rest of the construction costs. Drape Construction Co. of Tripoli received the contract to build the building and work commenced in October 1936 and completed the following summer. Final construction cost was $119,000 with the June 6, 1937 dedication ceremony seen by 1,500 people.〔 Justice Richard Mitchell of the Iowa Supreme Court and P.P. Hopkins, the State PWA Director, were the featured speakers.
