Erie was the first county seat from 1864 to 1868. The county seat was moved to Osage Mission in 1868, returned to Erie in 1874, and the first courthouse was constructed. The second courthouse was built in 1904 of brick and native stone with a central cupola surmounted by towers with four round windows each. It was constructed Dannelly & Halfin and designed by George P. Washburn & Son. The building was razed after the present structure was completed.
Kiene & Bradley Architects also designed courthouses in Coffey County, Greeley County, Jefferson County, Logan County, Morris County, and Wilson County.
