Appanoose County
Courthouse
From the Iowa Court History
Page: "The first courthouse in Appanoose
county was not only a courthouse, but also a storeroom and a
blacksmith's shop. The judge had to use the store's counter for
the bench.
The
first true courthouse was built in 1848 for $160 in the city of
Centerville. After only ten years, this building was outgrown
and court was held in the Methodist and Presbyterian churches
while a second courthouse was constructed.
The
second courthouse, a two-story, brick building, was considerably
more expensive- $23,000. It was declared unsafe and condemned
after 33 years of service.
The
third and present courthouse was completed in 1904. The
architectural style is Romanesque. From the center of this
Bedford stone building rises a tall tower with a four-faced
clock on it. The clock went through major repairs in 1936 and
again n 1975 when it was struck by lightening. "
