Piatt County Courthouse, constructed in 1903-04. Greek Revival style. Three stories, slightly rectangular shape, red brick with extensive limestone elements, large shallow copper dome with copper fretwork detail upon a drum base.

A limestone belt course is carried by the pilasters, with a plain frieze, a denticulated cornice, and a full pediment over the central pavilions with a limestone balustrade on either side. The pediments have a cornice of dentils, and egg and dart molding with a central wreath framed by torches and interconnected with a ribbon of limestone. Inset within the wreath on both ends is a shield with "1903."
