Chariton Herald-Patriot Building

The Chariton Herald-Patriot Building, completed in 1918, is a historic structure in Chariton, Iowa, designed by local architect William L. Perkins. This two-story building showcases a unique hydro-stone block construction, a novel material at the time, and features a symmetrical facade with classical elements. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 and is part of the Lucas County Courthouse Square Historic District since 2014, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in early 20th-century architecture and local history.
