Popis:

The Montague County Courthouse in Montague, Texas, United States. The courthouse was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 2013 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 2017 as part of the Montague County Courthouse and Jail. Marker text: "Montague County was created in Dec. 1857 and organized in Aug. 1858. A log cabin and a frame store served as temporary courthouses. Fires destroyed a two-story frame building (1873) and a two-story stone courthouse (1884). In that same year, construction began on a second stone courthouse, which lasted until a 1912 storm severely damaged it. County commissioners selected Waco architect George Burnett to design the present Classical Revival style temple of Justice. A. H. Rodgers of Henrietta was the contractor. The three-story brick and stone courthouse with raised basement has staircases at all four entrances, porticos, pilasters and dentils. Completed in May 1913, it has been the center of government and activity in the county for more than a century."
