Riley County Courthouse -- Manhattan KS - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The beautiful white stone Riley County courthouse in downtown Manhattan Kansas is covered with charming, unique details that delight and captivate.

Blasterz had a great time looking for the creeping chimera, and the TWO benchmarks that are on this building (one destroyed).

The Riley County courthouse has been serving the citizens of this county since 1906.

In 2008 it was carefully renovated with an eye to preserving its historic status while improving functionality, stability, and safety, so that it can continue to serve well into the next century. See here for the renovation details: (visit link)
