The
Parker County Courthouse closely resembles the ones in Coryell,
Denton,
Hill,
Hood
and Lampassas
counties. All were works of W. C. Dodson.
Weatherford complies with the state’s legal request that county seats
be located “within” five miles of the county’s geographic center by
putting the courthouse on the exact center and even celebrating the
spot with a decorative floor.
