The
Present Goliad County Courthouse - Goliad,
Texas
Date - 1894
Architect - English architect Alfred Giles
Style - Second Empire
Material - Stone and brick
The building originally had a clock tower and turrets that were
removed in a 1942 hurricane. They were finally replaced in
2003.
An earlier tornado
in 1902 forced the courthouse to be used as a hospital and morgue
(plaque on courthouse lawn).
