Summary

Completed in 1894, the Fillmore County Courthouse is a simplified version of the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The courthouse was designed by architect George E. McDonald and was modeled after the Gage County Courthouse in Beatrice. The two-story brick building, located in Geneva, has a prominent three-story tower with a community clock, installed by jeweler W. P. McCall in 1909.
