The McHenry County Courthouse in Towner, North Dakota was built in 1907. Along with a number of other North Dakota courthouses designed by its architects Buechner & Orth, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

It includes Beaux Arts architecture and is said to be "an economy version" of the architects' Traill County Courthouse design. Its surface is buff brown brick, and it has a limestone line about the first floor level.[2][3]
