The Blaine County Courthouse in Watonga, Oklahoma, was built in 1906, the year before Oklahoma received statehood. It has been asserted to be "one of the most imposing structures in Watonga" and "serves as a landmark for both the town and the county," Blaine County. It has a large central dome, a pediment entrance and a pediment above its cornice whose tympanum is painted with spirals and the date "1906". Its facade also features an arcade of three windows on the third and fourth storey levels. [3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [1] It is a four-storey tan brick building on a concrete foundation. It was deemed significant for its architecture and association with the county history. The architect and builder(s) were unknown at the date of National Register listing. [3]

A breezeway connects the historic building to a two-storey addition on the south side. [3]

It was one of a group of Oklahoma courthouses studied together and listed on the National Register in 1983. [4]
