The Dickens County Courthouse was built in 1893 to the Romanesque Revival design of architect E. L. Aiken, a two-story light-stone building that cost $19,975 and originally carried a polygonal central tower with a domed cupola. A 1936 remodeling by the Nugent Construction Company removed the tower and enlarged the building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
