Also of note
is the homage to the Egyptian "Father of Architecture" Hammurabi (above
the door on the NW side (rear) of the building.
Stephens County has had three courhouses: 1876, 1883 and the present
1926 courthouse shown above. |

|
Looking like a Mayan ruin, the main entrance to the 1883 courthouse
is displayed on the lawn of the 1926 courthouse. |
