The McLean County Courthouse in Washburn, North Dakota was built in 1908. It was a two-and-a-half story brick building with a central tower above the front entrance. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The listing included two contributing buildings.[1]

It was designed by the Hancock Brothers architectural firm from Fargo, North Dakota.[2][3][4] The courthouse replaced a previous courthouse built in 1905.

Because of health concerns in the old building, county voters in 2010 approved the construction of a new courthouse. The 1908 courthouse was demolished in 2013.[5][6]
