This was our 225th Courthouse in Texas to visit. That means we are at 88.6% of our goal with 11.4% left to go.

The Roberts County courthouse also serves as a library which is located on the bottom floor.

In 2008, Roberts County received approval for a grant from the Texas Historical Commission which will be used to restore the interior of the courthouse to its original condition. Some of the other anticipated improvements will include a new parking lot, new heating and air conditioning and re-landscaping, including the removal of the vegetation around the building.

One of the other Texas county courthouses designed by Withers is the twin to this courthouse in Marion County, built in 1912. The main differences include a side portico on the Marion County courthouse and the spacious, hilltop vantage point of the Roberts County courthouse versus the crowded downtown location of the Marion County courthouse in the county seat of Jefferson. – Terry Jeanson
