A Page From Wichita History
Wichita History Image

Old County Courthouse

This grand stone courthouse was begun in 1888 on land donated by pioneer D.S. Munger. This picture was taken not long after its completion in 1890. If jeweler Ed Vail was keeping the clocks wound, a duty for which he was paid $6 a month for many years, the hands would indicate a southwest exposure. The central tower originally extended 90 feet above the slate roof. It served as the seat for county government until 1959 when the new courthouse was constructed across the street. County offices, courtrooms and jail moved to the new $8.5 million courthouse in 1959. The building today houses various county offices.
