Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square

The Denton County Courthouse exhibits red sandstone walls, four corner turrets, and a central clock tower rising above the city center.

Architect Wesley Clark Dodson completed this Romanesque Revival structure in 1896, marking a period of substantial growth in Denton County.

The courthouse museum presents collections of American pressed blue glass, regional quilts, and exhibits about African American and Hispanic heritage.

The building maintains wheelchair accessibility throughout its premises and offers guided tours of its preserved historical courtrooms and museum spaces.

The structure stands on a 0.2-acre plot near the final resting place of John B. Denton, the county and city namesake.
