The NRHP nomination for the Walworth County Courthouse reports that "John Philip Esentraut was an Iowa native, who practiced architecture in South Dakota between 1909 and 1928. One of the state's most noted architects of the period, he prepared designs for a variety of major projects in South Dakota and the surrounding states. Among his other South Dakota commissions were the Potter County Courthouse and several commercial buildings in Hot Springs and Rapid city, and the Blue Bell Lodge in Custer State Park. Eisentraut worked under partnerships and business entities throughout his career. By the time the Potter county project was finished, Eisentraut was affiliated with 'The Fall River Company', an architectural firm in Hot Springs."[2]
