When Cook County was first organized, county business was conducted in a trading post on a spit of land that extended into Lake Superior.[4] The first real courthouse building was built in 1889 and was a Script error: No such module "convert". two-story frame building. It later received a one-story Script error: No such module "convert". addition. The original frame courthouse was seen as "obsolete, limited in space, and far too modest an expression of the county's future," so in 1910, voters authorized the sale of bonds to build a new courthouse. The new building, completed in 1912, was built in the Classical Revival style and features Ionic columns supporting a cornice. It stands on a hill overlooking the city of Grand Marais and Lake Superior.[5]
