Well, this is were I usually say what a great early 1900’s courthouse this is (and I assume it is) – but like what’s happened in a few other instances – the courthouse was behind fences – awaiting restoration (I hope). It is a stately looking building, with nice motifs over the porticos. The porticos are well-sized for the building. Maybe, someday, we’ll be able to return to enjoy the restored interior wonders of this potential gem.
Update – We did revisit Glasscock County Courthouse in our West Texas trip of 2019. Go here to see the renovated & open courthouse.
