Schleicher County
CourthouseConstructed
in 1923-24, this courthouse replaced an earlier building on this site which burned
in 1917. Designed by noted architect Henry T. Phelps of San
Antonio, the 3-story Classical Revival structure features four half-round
giant order Doric columns which support a large entablature. Native stone for
the building was obtained from nearby quarries. The courthouse has been the site
of numerous community events over the years.
