History

The art deco styled courthouse was designed by William C. Townes and was built in 1932.[2] The courthouse cost $315,000 ($5.9 million in 2019 dollars) to build.[2]

The Potter County Library, which sits on the same property as the courthouse, was also designed by Townes and was built in 1922.
