Text from the restoration webpage at (visit link)

The Polk County Courthouse was completed in 1859, four years after Polk was established as a permanent county. The courthouse has been in continuous service ever since. Restoration of the courthouse began in the summer of 1999 when Sossamon Construction Company began removal of the old flooring and other later additions.
The Courthouse had been remodeled in the 1920's and oak flooring was put over the original heart pine floors. Over the years offices were added and walls had to be built. Many of these changes had to be removed so the Courthouse could be returned to the way it looked in the 1870's.
