June 09, 2021

LAWSONS GOT A ‘SNEAK PEEK’ AT NEW COURT ANNEX – Abe and Mary Lawson were ‘Downtown’ for the Memorial Day Ceremony and stayed a few minutes after the gathering to see their former building and the new renovations. Abe and Mary both were impressed with the work and said, “it sure doesn’t look anything like it did. They’ve done a good job.” Here, Washington County Clerk Jenny Allen and Deputy Clerk Carrie Richards show the Lawsons the new entry and waiting area and point out the pressed tin ceiling that was saved and re-installed. The Circuit Clerk begins moving Monday, June 14th to the new facility.

Washington County Circuit Clerk Ashley Gum is pleased to announce the offices relocation to the new Court Annex at 104 North Missouri Street, next to the Courthouse.

The renovation project is nearly complete and the Circuit Clerk’s Office as well as the Assoc. Circuit Division are planning their move starting this coming Monday, June 14th.

Circuit Clerk Gum released the following via social media and by email on Monday, June 7th, 2021:
“During the week of June 14th through the 18th, 2021, the Washington County Circuit Clerk’s Office, including the Associate Circuit Division, will be relocating to the newly renovated Courthouse Annex located at 104 North Missouri Street.

During this period of transition, the routine services provided by the Clerk’s Office will be limited to emergency services only.

We ask the public for their patience and assistance during this time. If you are contemplating filing an action, or conducting other business with the court, we ask that you do so prior to the move or wait until after our relocation.

We are excited about the move, and look forward to serving the citizens of Washington County in our new facility.”

Thank you,

Ashley Gum
