The First Thurston County Courthouse, in Pender, Nebraska, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It consists of two contributing buildings.[1]
The older building, at 222 Main Street, was built by 1889 and after purchase by the county for $1500 served as courthouse for Thurston County. It is a two-story wood frame commercial building about 20 feet (6.1 m) by 50 feet (15 m) in plan.[2]
The second building, adjacent, was built in 1892 as a U-shaped hotel building known as Peebles House. It is a 100 feet (30 m) by 95 feet (29 m) three-story brick-faced U-shaped building which has aspects of the Second Renaissance Revival architecture.[2]
