| Denton County | |
| Construction finished in 1897 on this, Denton County's third
courthouse in the city of Denton. (There were others prior to the
move of the county seat in 1857.) As with many metropolitan
courthouses in Texas, this one is no longer used as a courthouse,
although the county commissioners and county judges have offices
there. Also, the Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum is
located there.
It sits beautifully on the town square in old downtown Denton.
It is built from locally quarried limestone, gray sandstone from Mineral
Wells, and red granite from Burnet County for the columns. |
