This is the fourth structure to serve as the Milam County Courthouse. The

local Masonic Lodge laid the cornerstone for the building on July 4, 1891.

Designed by architect A. O. Watson of Austin, the courthouse at one time

featured a Second Empire style roof and a cupola with a four-sided clock. The

clock was removed and the roof altered in a 1938 renovation project by the

Federal Works Progress Administration. As the center of county government for

over a century, the courthouse stands as a significant part of Milam County

history.
