Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, National Register of Historic Places
The 14-story Jefferson County Courthouse was a radical departure in style and form from traditional Texas courthouses. For decades after its completion, this Art Deco building was the only skyscraper courthouse in the state. The county jail was housed on the top floors of the courthouse, instead of in a separate structure as was the usual practice.
