The public square where the Ogle County Courthouse stands is in the heart of the Oregon Commercial Historic District.
Besides the courthouse, there are five other important sites on the public square, all of which are considered contributing properties to the historic district.
The sites include cannons, war memorials, and a cast-iron fountain.
Iron Mike, the 1896 cast-iron fountain, is on the south side of the 400 Block of Washington Street in the Oregon Commercial Historic District.
The multi-tier fountain is set into a matte green concrete base, and is four feet tall and three feet wide, at its widest point.
Its lowest tier is adorned with the words "Illinois Humane Society."
