Hardin County Courthouse
Hardin County Courthouse, County courthouse in Eldora, Iowa, United States
The red brick building features stone dressings around windows, entryways, and a foundation made of pink Kasota stone, topped by a 128-foot bell tower.
The current courthouse, built in 1892 for $48,000, replaced two previous structures, with the first one from 1856 being destroyed by fire the same year.
The courthouse displays statues of Justice, Mercy, and Liberty in an alcove beneath the bell tower, with the State of Iowa seal in frosted glass windows.
The facility underwent a complete renovation in 1969-1970 at a cost of $422,000, including new electrical systems, concrete floors, and an elevator installation.
The building combines Romanesque Revival elements with Queen Anne style features, incorporating corner turrets, hipped roof, and cross gables with hewn stone trim.
