Known as the "Skyscraper of the Plains," this native stone structure is the legacy left by N.C. Merrill, an avid promoter of Ness City and Ness County. Built in 1888, it stands as a tribute to the ingenuity, dreams, and culture of the settlers who dug the stone, laid the stone and carved the stone. The building has served as a home for the Courthouse, Banks, Cultural Events, Post Office, Apartments, Offices and Lodge Hall.

The building is listed on the Kansas State and National Register of Historic Sites.
