Edwards
County Courthouse
Date: 1891
Architect: Ben Davey and Bruno Schort
Style: Romanesque Revival
Material: Stone
The county is named after early colonist Hayden Edwards of Nacogdoches.
There had been an 1883 Courthouse in Leakey.
The 1891 Edwards County Courthouse is spotless enough to pass a military
inspection.
The courthouse was damaged by a tornado in 1927 that killed nearly
70 people. Both the courthouse and The Rocksprings Hotel served as
shelters.
