Also of note is the
homage to the Egyptian "Father of Architecture" Hammurabi (above the door on the
NW side (rear) of the building.
Stephens County has had three courhouses: 1876, 1883 and the present 1926
courthouse shown above. |

Looking like a Mayan ruin, the main entrance to the 1883 courthouse is displayed
on the lawn of the 1926 courthouse. | |
