The Republic County Courthouse in Belleville, Kansas, serves as the seat of government for a county that has maintained Belleville as its administrative center since 1869. Completed in 1939 by Peterson Construction Company of Salina, the three-to-four-story structure was designed by Mann & Company of Hutchinson in the Art Deco style and constructed of white-colored concrete with polished black granite detailing. The building features a poured-in-place concrete frame, glass elements, and a flat roof, with seven bays marking its east and west facades and six bays on the north and south sides. The west elevation showcases a projecting center section with a rectangular arch, recessed entrance, and vertical windows with metal grillework. Built at a cost of $250,532—substantially aided by a Public Works Administration grant of $112,936—the courthouse replaced its 1885 brick predecessor, which was destroyed by fire in 1938. The building is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Register of Historic Kansas Places.
