Somervell County Courthouse (1894)

Designed in the Romanesque Revival style and built with native limestone. The two-story structure is a typical rectilinear design. The east and west facades are divided into five-part compositions, while the north and south facades are broken into three parts. Limestone circular arches framing the doors, windows, water table and belt courses further embellish the rusticated stone of the building. A belt course and limestone dentils decorate the cornice area. The central portion of each facade is slightly projected and topped with a pediment that intersects the mansard roof. A clock tower completes the composition of the structure.
