The
Ochiltree County Courthouse

Style - Texas Renaissance
Material - Brick, steel and concrete
Addition - 1974
This is the
county's second courthouse. (The first in 1890.) In Texas Renaissance Style, the
simple lines and good details make this courthouse a fine example of between-the-wars
architecture. On the corner of Main and Sixth Street.

Note:
The 1928 Ochiltree County courthouse -
"The original south
side entrance and half of the rear side of the building have been obscured by
the 1974 addition. Locals informed me that it's pronounced "AH-kull-tree.""
