Bexar County Courthouse, Romanesque Revival courthouse in downtown San Antonio, United States
The Bexar County Courthouse features a red sandstone exterior structure with rounded arches, two entrance pillars, and green and red roof tiles.
Construction of the courthouse began in 1891 under architect James Riely Gordon and reached completion in 1896, marking the fifth seat of government in Bexar County.
The building represents multiple governmental transitions, from Spanish and Mexican rule through the Republic of Texas to the United States administration.
Located at 100 Dolorosa Street, the courthouse maintains regular operations as the center of county administration and legal proceedings in San Antonio.
Four major expansions between 1914 and 1972 added 48,000 square feet to the original structure, making it the largest historic courthouse in Texas.
