The courthouse in Ft. Davis, the county seat of Jeff Davis County. Its a gorgeous building. Date - 1910 Architect - L. L. Thurmon & Co., Dallas Style - Classical Revival, while the clock tower is Beaux-Arts. Material - Stone and concrete Ft. Davis had been the county seat of Presidio County, which had included what is now Jeff Davis and Brewster Counties. But the railroad laid tracks through Marfa in 1885 and Marfa became the county seat. The people of Ft. Davis organized their own county, which was approved by the legislature in March of 1887, making Fort Davis again a county seat. --Wiki
