First permanent courthouse for county, which was organized in 1856, but used makeshift quarters for offices and courtrooms until this building was erected 1890-91.
B.F. Trester of San Antonio drew the plans for $5. Contractors: Ed Braden & Sons. Interior was remodeled and a wing added in 1966.
Photographer's Note:
"The cupola has been recently reconstructed and painted its original color. The painted on clock faces read 7:45 when the courthouse was built, but now read 10:10. No one that I talked to at the courthouse knew the significance of either painted on time." - Terry Jeanson February, 2007
