Tyndall became the county seat of Bon Homme county in 1885 after citizens of Tyndall donated $6000 for construction of a new courthouse on the condition that the county seat be moved to this city. In 1914 the first small brick courthouse was replaced, at a cost of $92,000 by this large three story marble and stone structure. The exterior features columns in front and the interior has a stained glass rotunda decorated with murals.
The courthouse stands on a large square, which was also the site of the first courthouse, in the northwest part of the town. It was placed on the National Register of Historic places in 1984.
