Sundberg & Sundberg was an architectural firm based in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Among its works are several county courthouses. Several of its works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places for their architecture.
C.A. Sundberg was an architect of Rexburg, Idaho, when he designed the Power County Courthouse, built in 1925. He later moved his practice to Idaho Falls.[1]
It was written about the 1920 Madison County courthouse that it, "Like most of Idaho's county courthouses", is "the most ambitious and stylistically elaborate architectural design in its locality and its region". Three courthouses, for Jefferson, Jerome, and Oneida counties, were designed for Works Project Administration-funded construction during 1938–39, and are nearly identical.[2]
