The Butler County Courthouse is a public courthouse constructed in 1909,[2] in El Dorado, Kansas. It was designed by George P. Washburn & Sons to serve as the main county courthouse for Butler County. The Romanesque Revival courthouse was typical of Washburn's courthouse designs; of the eleven surviving courthouses designed by the architect, nine are Romanesque. The red brick courthouse features a central clock tower and four octagonal corner towers, a statue of the Goddess of Justice, and a hipped roof with cross gables, all common features of Washburn's work. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[3]

Butler County was organized on February 11, 1859.[4] The County Clerk has land records from 1887 and birth and death records from 1887 to 1911.[5]

The courthouse is still in operation as such. Self-guided tours are also available during normal working hours.[4]
