The Franklin County Courthouse was built in 1893 by George P. Washburn, one of the best known 19th century Kansas architects, and is regarded as one of Washburn's most outstanding works. Much of the work was done by local craftsmen and workers. Limestone for the basement walls was shipped from Strong City; pressed red-faced brick manufactured by Ottawa Brick and Tile; and sandstone shipped from Warrensburg, Mo. The interior trim was hand oil-rubbed natural oak and door and window trimmings are of solid bronze.

Re-View served as the general contractor for the window restoration work on this charming county courthouse located in Ottawa, Kansas. Since the courthouse is occupied the Re-View workers had to work around office workers, furniture, computers, and files.

All dust had to be contained. The Re-View craftsmen, restored the original wood sash and converted them from single pane to ½" insulated glass.
