Clay County Courthouse, County courthouse and National Register of Historic Places listed building in Spencer, United States.

The Clay County Courthouse features red stone construction, classical columns, decorative moldings, and a bronze-covered dome with a clock tower.

Built in 1901 for $60,000, this Neoclassical structure represents the fourth courthouse building to serve Clay County's administrative functions.
