Chautauqua County Courthouse (Kansas)
Architect George P. Washburn & Sons of Ottawa, Kansas designed the courthouse in the Classical Revival style. The courthouse is two stories and faces east. It is constructed of red-colored brick, limestone, and concrete with a flat roof. It is located on spacious landscaped grounds in the center of the city. The front has a portico supported by four Ionic columns which rise to a wide header at the roof.
The current courthouse is the second structure used as a courthouse. The first courthouse was a stone, two-story structure built in 1875–77 by H. B. Kelly.
George P. Washburn & Sons also designed courthouses in Anderson County, Atchison County, Butler County, Doniphan County, Franklin County, Harper County, Kingman County, Miami County, Pratt County and Woodson County, and Beaver County, Oklahoma.
