Texas Court Houses"The old Morris County Courthouse located in Daingerfield, Texas is a-two story structure of load bearing brick walls surmounted with a low hipped roof with plain cornice and cupola. Completed in 1882 by the local construction firm of Peterson and Stuckey at a cost of $5,500.
Since being replaced by a new structure in 1972 the old Morris County courthouse has been adapted as a county museum and offices for the county historical society.
Spared demolition in 1972 when the new courthouse was built on a different site, the Morris County courthouse has witnessed nearly a century of the daily civic affairs of a small town and county."
"V-shape" brickwork decorates the top of the building.
