Harrisonville Courthouse Square Historical District - Harrisonville, Missouri - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

All contributing buildings and structures of this Historic District have been waymarked.

The Harrisonville Courthouse Square Historic Distric consists of four full blocks of of commerical buildings facing the courthouse square and portions of five additional city blocks just off the square. The Cass County Courthouse, the predominate feature of the district, is situated on the on the highest elevation of the original town of Harrisonville. The four streets surrounding the square are brick. Harrisonville's commerical district retains the same compactness today that it has had since the mid 19th century. The district has had a long history as the commercial and governmental center and the buildings reflect that use today.

Within the Harrisonville Courthouse Square Historic District are 37 buildings, 34 contributing, 3 noncontributing and one each of a contributing object and structure. Because this business district has survived many decades, it is understandable that its commercial buildings show alterations, especially at the storefront level. When the upper stories (or in one-story buildings, the parapet), remain generally intact, these buildings continue to contribute to Harrisonville's sense of place. One of the noncontributing buildings is an historic building that has been so severely altered that it retains almost none of its original integrity.
