The Present Franklin
County Courthouse
Date - 1912
Architect - L. L. Thurman, Dallas
Style - Classical Revival
Photographer's Note:
"The 1909
Carson County courthouse in Panhandle,
Texas was similar to the current 1912 Franklin County courthouse.
The
exterior of this courthouse has been restored after receiving a grant for over
$2,000,000 from the Texas Historical Commission in 2010. A grant for over $3,000,000
in 2012 went to interior restoration work which should be completed by 2013."

"The
courthouse's clock tower dome. The date of county organization, 1875, which is
etched into the window, is correct. The time on the clock faces during my visit,
was not." -
