Completed in 1915 in downtown Minot, North Dakota, the Bruce M. Van Sickle Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse was designed by architect Oscar Wenderoth in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. Originally serving as both courthouse and post office, the building cost $124,000 to construct and was celebrated by local citizens as among the finest federal structures in the Northwest upon its opening on June 12, 1915. It now houses the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The building was renamed in 2002 to honor district court judge Bruce M. Van Sickle.
