This five story, rough cut sandstone building topped by a statue of chief Wapello, is the fourth courthouse to serve Wapello County. It originally had a corner clock tower and several large chimneys. To relieve stress and preserve the building these were removed, along with 450 tons of bricks, in 1950.
