Ness County Courthouse
J.C. Holland and Sons designed this 1918 Modern Eclecticism limestone structure that features decorative roundels. The front roundels in the top center on each side of the building originally contained working clocks. The dust storms of the 1930s clogged the mechanisms so badly that they ceased working. In the mid-1970s local art teacher Jack Simpson painted Kansas images—the state seal, sunflowers, a bison, and a windmill—in each of the roundels.
