Blanco's
famous Old Blanco County Courthouse, a Texas Historic
Landmark, anchors the square at the heart of downtown
Blanco.
The
Old Courthouse survives as an outstanding example of Second
Empire style architecture. According to the survey report
for the National Register of Historic Places, "Overall the
courthouse is one of the finest examples of courthouse
architecture from the late 19th century in
Texas."
The
Courthouse also stands today as an outstanding example of
small town spirit, determination, and accomplishment. Blanco
County's prestigious former courthouse is subject to ongoing
efforts to restore her to the historic elegance of former
years and to establish a sustainable role for her in the
life of the community.
