The Douglas County Courthouse in Lawrence, Kansas is a three-and-a-half-story limestone structure completed in 1903 and designed by noted architect John G. Haskell in association with Frederick C. Gunn. Built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, the courthouse is distinguished by its commanding six-story square clock tower—crowned with four minarets and a pyramidal roof topped by a metal finial—which serves as the building's dominant feature. A smaller octagonal stair tower with an eight-sided roof and alternating windows on its five visible sides provides additional architectural interest. The building is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Register of Historic Kansas Places.
