The 1937 Courthouse replaced the original one built in 1886. Courthouses of Texas by Mavis Kelsey, Sr. and Donald Dyal calls it "an interesting mix of Classical Revival and Mediterranean elements". We couldn't have said it better ourselves. As nice as it is, we'd prefer to have the 1886 courthouse back.
