Williamson County Courthouse (Texas No. 62)


Constructed:  1911
Architectural Style:  Beaux-Arts
Materials:  Brick and stone
County Seat:  Georgetown

This style of architecture was very popular during the first two decades of the 20th Century, a stunning transition from the Victorian and Renaissance Revival styles so popular in the late 19th Century.


A better view of the beautiful copper dome can actually be seen a block away.

Another amazing courthouse with uniqueness and style. Today, they just slap cinder blocks together and call it a day. These buildings you are showing us just say CLASS.

I like the dome and the windows and also like that J P Aubin store...

I love that dome and you are right, you get a better view from a little ways away. It's kind of like the dome on our capital here. It's better seen from a distance.

Copper domes give a classy look to any building. This courthouse doesn't really need that kind of help because it is indeed a class act.

That dome is the crowning glory. I like that rock building in the second shot.
