A very nice representative of Texas Renaissance. The outside facades were highly decorated and a pleasant surprise. Inside, while not awe inspiring, is very representative of the 1920’s. In the courtroom, the wood behind the bench was a nice touch. The courthouse sits on one end of the town’s main street – with the old train depot sitting at the other end.
