Anderson County Courthouse, County courthouse in Palestine, Texas.
The Anderson County Courthouse features three stories with a raised basement, crowned by a rotunda with an art glass dome and Lady Justice statue.
The current building, completed in 1914 at a cost of $250,000, represents the fourth courthouse structure after its predecessor was destroyed by fire in 1913.
This Neoclassical structure includes projecting porticos with pediments on all elevations, each decorated with six ionic columns of brick, rock, and terra cotta materials.
The courthouse maintains its role as the center of county government operations, located at 500 North Church Street in downtown Palestine.
The building stands at the highest point in Palestine, incorporating a bi-axial arrangement that allows for grand entrances from all four cardinal directions.
