History
Quincy was Adams County's first county seat, and a frame building was built for a courthouse in the 1850s.[1] The building was later used for a school before it was torn down in 1932. There is some indication that a second courthouse was built in Quincy, but the evidence is not conclusive.[1] The county seat was moved to Corning in 1872, and a frame building was erected for a courthouse by the local citizens. It was destroyed in a fire on February 1, 1888. The destroyed building was replaced by a brick Romanesque Revival structure in 1890 for $28,183. That building was similar to the Adair County Courthouse in Greenfield and the Monona County Courthouse in Onawa.[1] As it was being torn down in 1955 the roof collapsed narrowly missing some of the workers. The present Modernist courthouse was completed in 1955 for $218,635.[2] When it was completed it featured concrete walls painted light green separated by panels in between the windows that were painted pink.
