Rusk County Courthouse

County Seat – Henderson

Built – 1928

Style – Texas Renaissance

Architect – Curtis & Thomas, & A. C. Gentry

Pictures Taken – January 2, 2004

We were visiting our great friends – Mary U, and Mike H., in East Texas.  It was Christmas time and we decided to take a day trip to Marshall to see their famous light display (that didn’t work out as I think they turn them off after New Year’s).  The courthouse was closed so we didn’t get any interior shots.  A good period piece – it’s moderne in feel.  Also, of some interest was the rusticated stone used on the exterior.  Most buildings of this time used a smooth surface.
