The Miami County Courthouse in Paola, Kansas, stands as the county's seat of government since its completion in 1899. Architect George P. Washburn designed the building in a Victorian style enriched with Romanesque Revival details, creating a distinctive structure featuring corner towers—the southwest tower originally functioned as a clock tower. The courthouse's most striking elements include arched upper windows framed in stone and a continuous stone band encircling the building, regarded as a principal design feature. Brick-columned porches mark the east and west entrances, while the complex roofline combines hipped sections on the main body and towers with gable ends positioned between them. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, the building remains listed on the Register of Historic Kansas Places.
