Summary
"During the late nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth century - called "The Golden Age of Texas Courthouses" by author Michael Andrews - county courthouses rose as unmatched symbols of community pride, stability and optimism. Historic Texas Courthouses gives attention to 100 of the landmark buildings in the state, delivering an education in their origin, craftsmanship and character. Andrews introduces us to the men who designed them and their architectural influences, as well as the stories behind the construction of the buildings. Details about the architecture abound, providing context for everything from the style of a window to the materials used."--BOOK JACKET.
