The Coleman County Courthouse was originally built in 1884 as a two-story stone building with a mansard roof and a central clock tower, designed by W. W. Dudley in the Second Empire style. In 1951–1952 architect Wyatt C. Hedrick of Fort Worth encased the old structure in a Moderne brick remodeling that concealed the earlier design. Efforts have since been made to restore the courthouse to its 1884 appearance.
