History
The Sabine County Courthouse in Hemphill was begun in 1906 to the Beaux-Arts design of architect A. N. Dawson. Its upper floors were rebuilt after a fire in 1909, and the Works Progress Administration remodeled the building in 1938. Hemphill, the county seat since an 1858 relocation, was named for Texas Supreme Court Justice John Hemphill.
