The main entry of the courthouse features large 32 lite double hung windows.

In 1922, Harry Truman won election as county judge for eastern Jackson County as a candidate of the Pendergast faction of the Democratic Party. The historic Independence Square is the setting for the beginning of one of the most distinguished political careers of our time. It was here, in the small office and administrative courtroom, that Harry S Truman began his life of public service that carried him from Independence, Missouri, to Washington, D.C.

The true divided lite sash are fabricated from Honduras Mahogany, which is a very durable hardwood for exterior applications.

Re-View was commissioned to restore the large multi-lite windows in this historic landmark. One of the objectives of the project was to upgrade the energy efficiency of the window system without compromising the historic integrity of the structure. Re-View took the original sash and copied all dimensions and profiles and then designed an insulated glass window sash out of mahogany that exactly replicates the original. These new sash were set in the original frames.
