Unique Victorian Texas public building. Third courthouse here. Site, in an 1824 land grant from Mexico, was donated 1850 by Henry Fanthorp, first permanent settler in county.

Built 1891 of hand-molded brick with native stone trim. Vault is same one used in previous buildings; has twice withstood fires.

Tried here in 1930s, a Clyde Barrow gang member vowed he'd see court in infernal regions.
