 J. Riely Gordon, ArchitectThe renaissance-revival courthouse designed by J.Riely Gordon for Harrison County was begun in 1899 and completed in 1901. The architect chose pink granite, marble and brick for its exterior. It is one of 12 county seats of government still standing of the reputed 72 designed by Gordon, arguably the most prolific courthouse architect in Texas. Others of his well-known edifices include those in Waxahachie, Gonzales, Giddings, and Sulphur Springs. |
