The Washington County Courthouse in Washington, Iowa, completed in 1887, exemplifies Romanesque Revival architecture and was designed by William Foster. This substantial civic building served as the third courthouse structure the county erected for its judicial and administrative functions. Recognized for its historical significance, it was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 as part of the County Courthouses in Iowa Thematic Resource, and later designated a contributing property within the Washington Downtown Historic District in 2013.
