Fillmore County Courthouse
900 G Street
Geneva, Nebraska
The newly renovated Fillmore County Courthouse, built in 1894, is
a
simplified version of the Richardsonian Romanesque style.
Suspended tin ceilings, a polished oak judge's bench, and a
domed ceiling add to the grandeur of the second floor courtroom,
providing a sense of the history and the permanence of the
county's heritage. The tower clock still chimes on the hour and
the half hour. (National Register of Historic Places, 1978) |
