Johnson County Courthouse, Warrensburg, MO (4)
**Johnson County Courthouse** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 94000288, date listed 4/7/1994
Courthouse Sq.
Warrensburg, MO (Johnson County)
Significant as a seat of county government since its completion in 1898, the Johnson County Courthouse is an impressive local rendering of the Richardsonian Romanesque style which dominated courthouse architecture in Missouri in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Erected on high ground and with virtually no competition above the trees, the building's goddess-topped clock tower and elaborate roofline are visible for several miles.
Johnson County, Missouri, named for U.S. Senator Richard Johnson (later a U.S. vice president) was organized with its present boundaries on Dec. 13, 1834, when the area that had been Lafayette County was subdivided. The 1896 Johnson County Courthouse is the county's third, with all located in Warrensburg. (1)
