Old Courthouses

Both Arkansas and Texas have an abundance of beautiful old classic revival county courthouses. Take a look at this site I created for some examples: Ark-La-Tex Almanac. Just click on any county or parish, and most of the links will have a picture of the county courthouse on the front page (especially the Texas links). Here's another site that includes pictures of courthouses from all over Texas. Here's a picture I took from Marshall, Texas while there on business this morning:



In Arkansas, the oldest courthouse still in operation is in White County. Others worth mentioning are too numerous to name, but a few include the old Washington County Courthouse, Little River County, Pulaski County, Bradley County, Carroll County (Eureka Springs Cthouse), and Desha County (Arkansas City Cthouse). Union County's courthouse is made of Batesville limestone. If you're interested, you can purchase the book "On the Courthouse Square in Arkansas" by John Gill here. MAkes a good coffee table book.
