Built in 1891, the Fayette County Courthouse boasts Romanesque Revival structural style and locally sourced blue sandstone, red Pecos sandstone, burnet granite, and Belton white limestone. The impressive 100’ clocktower and brass bell are remnants of previous versions of the courthouse, one of them built by German immigrant H. L. Kreische, whose homestead and brewery are highlighted elsewhere in this article. Both the inside and the outside of the courthouse have seen minor alterations and renovations over the last 120+ years, but the edifice has stood the test of time, its half-moon shaped courtroom witnessing justice being served in Fayette County since the paved roads were just dirt and transportation was horse-drawn.
