Chase County Courthouse, Renaissance Revival courthouse in Cottonwood Falls, United States.
The Chase County Courthouse displays a red mansard roof atop its limestone structure, with a clock tower reaching 113 feet into the Kansas sky.
Built in 1873 by architect John G. Haskell, this building stands as the oldest operating courthouse in Kansas and second oldest west of the Mississippi River.
The spiral staircase, crafted from local walnut wood sourced near the Cottonwood River, represents the craftsmanship and materials of 19th century Kansas construction.
The courthouse opens Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM for self-guided tours, while weekend guided tours require advance arrangements.
A recent 2.4 million dollar renovation preserved the original French Renaissance and Second Empire architectural elements of this National Register listed building.
