Historical Marker:
Gray County
Courthouse
A fine example
of a beaux arts courthouse with Georgian ornamentation, this structure
was erected after the county seat was moved from Lefors
in 1928. The edifice was designed by W. R. Kaufman & Son of Amarillo
and built by Harland L. Case & Co. of Pampa.
It was dedicated on April 19, 1930. Built upon a foundation of Indiana
limestone, the steel frame and many windows give a modern look to
the traditional beaux arts style. Kaufman designed Pampa's
city hall and fire station in a similar style.
