The Pershing County Court House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the only round courthouse in daily use in the nation. Its circular-hexagon contour was inspired by Thomas Jefferson's library at the University of Virginia. Six Ionic columns in terra cotta support a full pedimented portico over the entrance. Inside, a central circular courtroom is surrounded by offices for county officials, and a cartouche with ornamental plasters on either side decorates the wall behind the judge's bench. Spectator seats have special hat racks underneath to hold cowboy hats. Designed by Fredrick J. Delongchamps with a raised basement, the building houses Pershing County commissioners in the lower round room. The 16,000 square foot courthouse was completed in June 1921 at a final cost of $99,138.68.
