The Phelps County Courthouse anchors Rolla's old civic core

The Phelps County Courthouse at Third and Main in Rolla is a National Register-listed civic landmark in the county seat.

Rolla’s civic identity has a specific historic anchor. Missouri State Parks lists the Phelps County Courthouse at Third and Main streets in Rolla on the National Register, with a listing date of January 7, 1993. Phelps County’s contact page places county offices at the courthouse address on North Main Street.

That helps a resident or visitor understand why county business, older civic buildings, and downtown Rolla history cluster in the same part of town. The courthouse is part of the county-seat map.

For building history, start with the National Register listing. For current office locations, hours, or department contacts, use Phelps County’s own site.
