The Adams County Courthouse is located in Corning, Iowa, United States. Quincy was Adams County's first county seat, and a frame building was built for a courthouse in the 1850s. Corning became the county seat in 1872, and a frame building was built there for the courthouse. It was replaced by a brick Romanesque Revival structure in 1890. It was similar to the Adair County Courthouse and the Monona County Courthouse. The present Modernist courthouse was completed in 1955 for $218,635.
