This is the Niobrara County Courthouse, one of the oldest courthouses still in use here. Perhaps its the oldest one still in use. Anyhow, this is an example of how they used to be.

Postscript.
Perhaps simply because this is one of the first posts that I did on this blog it has remained, for some reason, one of the consistently most viewed. Anyhow, in checking back on it, I realized that I didn't post a link to the photo of this courthouse up on Courthouses of the West, our companion blog, in the main thread, although I did add it in a comment.
Also, since posting this, I've learned that at the time I posted this photo there were at least two, and probably three, courthouses then in use that are older than this one. One of those, the Johnson County Courthouse, just went out of use, as a new courthouse has been built. Another one, however, in Uinta County is much older than this one, having been actually built in the 1870s.
