After three previous structures were destroyed by fire, present courthouse was begun in 1884 and dedicated in 1886. Designed by architect Wesley Clark Dobson of Waco who designed nine other Texas courthouses, the victorian building is constructed of limestone quarried locally at a cost of $55,555.55. Seal inside marks the exact center of the county. A good photo opportunity for visitors.
