[3] The present County Courthouse and Jail in Kenosha, Wisconsin was constructed from 1923 to 1925 in the Neoclassical style.

Land was selected by the Kenosha Board of Supervisors in 1922, coinciding with the shift in municipal policy to a council-manager plan.

When the Civic Center Historic District was established seven years later, the courthouse and jail were listed as a contributing property.

The main facade of the second and third stories are decorated with a colonnade of eighteen free-standing Ionic order columns.

The three-story jail features similar windows, although these are original to the building.
