The Owen County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Spencer, Indiana, United States. It was the work of Jesse Johnson and Christian Kanzler & Son and built in 1910–1911. It is a three-story, with basement, Classical Revival style limestone building. The flat roof is topped by a copper dome with four-sided Seth Thomas clock.^[2]^: 5

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.^[1]

In 2023, following the severe hail storm that damaged the copper dome, restoration efforts were initialized.

But the date was delayed further into late 2025 because simply the time required for insurance claims progress and funding caused the progress to delay.

The repairs were completed in October 2025.
