This building is believed to be the Fourth Brazos County Courthouse built in 1870 and torn down in 1892 to make room for the much loved fifth courthouse. Colonel Mitchell had the cedar transplanted again.1870 saw Brazos County erecting its fourth courthouse - on the site where todays current (6th) courthouse stands. Colonel Harvey Mitchell had the courthouse cedar transplanted from Boonville. After 20-some years - the fourth courthouse started showing its age and civil servants started disappearing from their second story offices. It was found that they were slipping through the cracks - literally. -John Troesser
