About Robertson County Courthouse
This limestone courthouse was built in 1882 for $30,000 as the fourth building to serve Robertson County, after the county seat moved to Franklin, renamed from Morgan, in 1879. Construction began in 1881 under architect F. E. Ruffini. The building has since been remodeled while continuing to serve as the seat of county government.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Robertson County Courthouse
Erected in 1882 at a cost of $30,000, this white limestone building is the fourth to serve as Robertson County Courthouse. In 1879 the county seat had been moved for the fifth time, to Morgan, on the International & Great Northern Railroad. But because Texas already had a post office named Morgan, the town was renamed Franklin for the first county seat, which was named for pioneer Will Franklin. Plans for a courthouse were begun that year; and in 1881 the construction was started, under F. E. Ruffini, architect. Since then the building has been remodeled.
