Sheridan County Veterans Memorial, Rushville, NE
Rushville, NE (Sheridan County)
Built in 1904, the Sheridan County Courthouse is a relatively unaltered, unpretentious example of the Property Type, County Capitol. Identifying features of the Property Type include its standing as a good example of public architecture in the community, presence of features distinctive to courthouse use, a tower, use of permanent materials, provision for fireproof storage vaults, and the impression of a government building of permanence and solidity. Built in 1901 and 1904, respectively, the courthouses for adjacent Cherry and Sheridan Counties are alike in massing, materials, and overall design, and both were the work of Omaha architect W.T. Misner.
A three-part small stone veterans' memorial with three flagpoles is located at the northwest corner of the courthouse site. While attractive and suited to a courthouse site, it is of recent (1970s?) construction and therefore a noncontributing object for this nomination. The jail is also a noncontributing element because of its recent construction date. (1)
