The Dewey County Courthouse in Taloga, Oklahoma was built in 1925. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. ^[1]

The courthouse is a three-story building with a flat roof. Its exterior originally was red brick, with quoins, but was stuccoed over in 1940. It has a projecting cornice with a plain parapet. It was designed by Maurice Jayne and was built by the Krioke-Shafer Construction Co. ^[2]

The listing included two contributing buildings and a contributing structure. An old jail, from c.1900, and a vault, from c.1910, are the other two resources. The vault was an addition to the previous courthouse, which burned. ^[2]
