This is the current Sedgwick County Courthouse and it is a mid-century high-rise structure…read morecompleted in 1958 and built in a Modern design style with glass, steel and concrete forming an 11-story vertical block. I had just been across the street at the old Richardsonian Romanesque courthouse that is all arches and stone and late 19th century "drama" design. Stepping over to here, the vibe sifts completely. This building is very much the active, security-checkpoint, business-of-the-county courthouse and on a day when I wasn't feeling up to dealing with metal detectors and bag checks, the exterior tells enough of the story. Horizontal window bands, recessed lower floors, flat rooflines and that unmistakable 1950s confidence. It declares that the government should look streamlined, efficient and lean forward. It doesn't have the ornament or craftmanship of the historic courthouse, but as a working building it projects exactly what Wichita wanted. It's a functional, modern courthouse rising over Main Street and still doing the daily work of the 18th Judicial District while its predecessor across the way has settled into its quieter second life.

Eddys completely lied saying they gave me "free services." Those "free services" was our agreement that they would fix the issues on the car upon purchase and I would take on any repairs after that. They even had to subpoena a buyers guide that was probably made up cause the sale was completed but they left that out trying to shame me into thinking I'm wrong.

Chase County Courthouse is the oldest operating courthouse in the state of Kansas! That tidbit of…read moreinformation would have flown right over my head, but I got the opportunity to tour this historic building, so over the course of the 30-or-so-minute tour, it all kind of sank in that this place is pretty special. If you get the chance to take a tour of the courthouse, you should. Self-guided tours are available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. You'll get to see the old-timey jail upstairs, with its single cell that can accommodate one person in the pokey at a time. You'll also see the court room, which is still being used to this day. This courthouse has so much history, but is also still functioning as a modern-day courthouse and taking care of business throughout the year for the people of Chase County. The building itself was completed in 1873, and looks distinctive, standing tall at the end of an otherwise modest street. Make sure to go up to the third floor and look out of the peephole window that faces downtown. You'll get a good view of the shops and buildings that make up this small town.

I'm a Kansas resident, attending college out of state. Bought a truck while at school and left it…read moreat my apartment while I came home for summer. Tried to transfer the title to a Kansas title using a Kansas out-of-state vin inspection form but the manager, Kari, insisted they didn't have those and I would need to bring the truck to Kansas, a 2 day drive, to inspect it. Whenever I tried asking questions I was interrupted by the manager who would say "Sorry, it's not going to happen, no point in trying to argue". When I called the county supervisor, she said they only allow out of state vin inspections for students and military, and had received a call before me from the Derby manager that I was only working in Florida, and not a student. The supervisor then said "Due to conflicting stories" they could not help. This is the second time I have needed a vehicle titled while out of state at school, and the first time I had no issues using the form. Do NOT use this office if you need anything more complicated than a registration renewal. They do not know what they are doing.
