The Harper County Courthouse, located at 201 N. Jennings Ave. in Anthony, is the seat of government of Harper County, Kansas. Built in 1907, the courthouse replaced a smaller and more modest courthouse and represented the county's prosperity at the time. The construction of the courthouse also settled a lingering controversy over Harper County's seat. George P. Washburn, a prominent Kansas architect, designed the courthouse. The courthouse's design features four corner towers and a clock tower at the center of the building. The west and east entrances to the building feature stone porches. The arched third-story windows of the courthouse are connected by a band of stone encircling the building.

The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 1978.
