JASPER COUNTY COURTHOUSE WINDOWS
The central window over the east and west entrances is similar to the broad-arched windows of the second story, being similarly sectioned, but with six lights, three sets of one-over-one light windows, in the lower section. The third story windows are also of two types. The rectangular, three-light type of window is employed elsewhere on the second story. Voussoirs, emphasized by a hood molding, are the only trim. The upper portion is semi-circular with four, radiating, pie-shaped lights. These windows are divided at the impost line into two sections, the lower section being rectangular with two-over-two light, double-hung sashes. The paired broad-arched windows are on the north and south facades between the corner pavilions and semi-circular entrance towers, one pair to each section of wall, for a total of four pairs of windows. The second story windows are of two types: 1) rectangular windows with three vertical lights and 2) broad-arched, double-width windows. The omission of decorative sills and lintels is continued on this story. These windows are deeply recessed at the sill level only, due to the continuation of the battered wall treatment through the first story level. The tall, first story windows are rectangular-shaped with one-over-one light, double-hung sashes. All window openings on the south facade, east of the entrance towers, are boarded up. There are no decorative sills or lintels. These windows are more deeply recessed at the bottom than at the top due to the battered wall treatment at this level. The basement windows are rectangular with one-over-one light, double-hung sashes. Even though there are no definite bay divisions, the fenestration pattern is regular all windows being evenly spaced across each facade and directly over each other. The original wood casings remaining on the basement and first story levels are to be replaced by the aluminum type. Aluminum window casings are on all facades above the first story level. The deep cornices, clock tower lantern, guttering, and downspouts are copper. The Jasper County Courthouse is constructed of rectangular, rock-faced blocks of native Carthage "marble" (limestone), the joints and seams neatly pointed with Portland cement bead. The east and west facades are 106'8" long. The north and south facades of the courthouse are 133'8" long. Corner pavilions, towers (including a dominant, central clock tower), and dormers add complexity to the basic mass. The Jasper County Courthouse is a three-story Romanesque Revival-style building, with a high basement and an attic. Jasper County Courthouse, located at the center of the one-acre public square in downtown Carthage, Missouri, is a monumentally proportioned example of county courthouse architecture in Missouri.
