Text from Texas EscapesThe present Bosque County courthouse, completed the end of 1886, is a Renaissance Revival courthouse designed originally by J. J. Cane of Ft. Worth. However, when he designed it, he had a Gothic tower with small turrets on the corners above the east entrance.
The building is made from limestone quarried nearby. Roman arches and heavy rusticated pilasters reflect the Renaissance Revival style. Stone-carved fancy rosettes adorn the pilasters. The hipped roofs over the corner pavilions, connected with mansard roofs, were originally covered with metallic shingles in a diamond pattern.
