The Llano County courthouse came into being in 1859. It was a wooden building - 21 years later it was destroyed by a fire.
The second (temporary) building was constructed in the same year (1880) by architect CS Jones and JK Finley, builder.
1885 - Alfred Giles, of British origin, created a new courthouse structure. Unfortunately, another fire happened in January 1892, and the courthouse was destroyed again. A year later, two architects, AO Watson and Jacob Laramour designed a new courthouse building, its construction was finished on 1 August 1893 (the foundation was made of granite).
It is quite a pretty structure - the photos were taken in 2020.Info source: Wikipedia
