The Renville County Courthouse in Mohall, North Dakota was built from 1936 to 1937 and dedicated in June 1937.[2] The building was designed in the Moderne style by architect E. W. Molander. The construction was partially funded by the Works Progress Administration and overseen by general contractor Iver Orheim.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]

The front facade is made of brick with Kettle River sandstone on the parapet. The name "Memorial Court House" is engraved in a frieze above the front entrance.[4] Of nine county courthouses built in North Dakota during 1929-1940, it is the one having Moderne rather than Art Deco styling.[4][5]
