Lightfoot and Funk.
Style - Texas Renaissance

"Designed by David S. Castle of
the architectural firm Townes, Lightfoot and Funk, Hansford County courthouse
is the first and only courthouse ever built in the county seat of Spearman.
When
the courthouse was built, the top floor housed a spacious sheriff's quarters and
a dormitory for sequestered juries. The dormitory is now the commissioner's courtroom
and the sheriff has since vacated, but the rooms still retain much of their original
appearance." - Terry Jeanson, March, 2008 |
