The county dedicated this distinctive, classical-style building, the latest of three courthouses remaining in The Dalles, on October 3, 1914. The lot at 5th and Washington Streets cost $8,000; the furnishings cost $12,645; and final building expenses totaled $159,000. Its beautiful halls are finished with marble and the non-combustible exterior and interior walls are of terra cotta tile. Doors and window frames came fully assembled from the Doernbecker Factory in Portland. County offices currently located in the courthouse include the Circuit and District Courts, the County Clerk and Tax Assessor, and County Judge.
