From Texas: A Guide to the Lone Star State, San Antonio section:
The BEXAR COUNTY COURTHOUSE, between W. Nueva St. and Main Plaza, Dwyer
and S. Main Aves., is built of red Pecos sandstone and red granite from West
Texas; it follows the Romanesque trend of architecture, with fort-like towers
and a green tile roof. The architects were James Reiley Gordon, for the first
unit; Phelps and Dewees, George Willis, and E. T. Jackson, for the second unit.
The courthouse continues to serve as the courthouse for Bexar County.
The courthouse was expanded several times including in 1963, 1970, and 1973.
Currently extensive construction work and restoration work is taking place at
the courthouse.
