The large, two story brick Kittitas County Courthouse was built in 1887 on the northwest corner of Main Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

A group of Kittitas County officials and clerks pose in front of the courthouse. The many trees that surround Courthouse Square were planted shortly after the construction of the building. The county jail was located on the north end of the building.Early photo postcards of this view of the courthouse were popular during the first quarter of the 1900s.
