Dedicated on July 18, 1898, the Gasconade County Courthouse is thought to be one of the few courthouses in the United States built entirely with private funds.

Charles D. Eitzen, a self-made river shipping millionaire, willed the sum of $50,000 to Gasconade County for construction and furnishing of a new courthouse.

The new courthouse building was designed by architects J. B. Legg of St. Louis and A. W. Elsner of Jefferson City. The new plan called for red brick with stone trim. More than 400,000 bricks went into the new courthouse. Bricklayers brushed bricks with b**r (cheaper than vinegar in those days) to make them shine and even out the color.

On February 3rd, 1905, the building was heavily damaged by fire, which destroyed the dome, roof, and a large portion of the second floor. Repairs were completed in December 1905.

The courthouse today remains little changed from its original design. Murals by area artists depicting the history of Gasconade County were added as a part of a centennial celebration in 1998.
