Bexar County
This is the fourth courthouse for Bexar County.  This Romanesque building was designed by James Riely Gordon, and constructed from 1891-1896.  It underwent expansions in 1914, 1926, 1963, 1970, and 1973 (as would be required to support a city as large as San Antonio).

It is located on Main Plaza, former called La Plaza de las Islas when it was laid out by a group of Canary Islanders relocated to Texas by the King of Spain to populate his territory.
