The Steele County Courthouse was built in 1891. The courthouse is a three-story Austin red-brick building with red mortar, accented with Lake Superior brown stone. It was designed by T. Dudley Allen of Minneapolis in a Romanesque Revival and Italianate style, featuring corner towers, a turret, and a large clock on four sides. Windows are arched and a statue representing Mercy, Law, and Justice sits above the north face of the building. Polished granite columns support double arches at the entrances. #owatonna #photography #Minnesota #Owatonnamn #photographer #courthouse #drone #dronephotography #dronefly #histroy #downtownowatonna
