McLennan County Courthouse
Waco, Texas
Architexas was hired by McLennan County to provide preservation architectural services to repair and waterproof the main roof and dome of the McLennan County Courthouse. The courthouse was constructed in 1902 and designed by architect James Riley Gordon in the Neoclassical Style with Beaux Arts detailing. Architexas completed a full assessment of the roof and dome, which included restoration and selective replacement of the ornamental statuary and architectural elements.
In addition to restoring the dome and main roof, Architexas also completed a limited historic paint analysis to determine the original paint colors on elements above the 3rd floor cornice. As part of the project, Architexas investigated material and assembly options for replacement materials that were beyond repair based on cost, longevity, and similarity in appearance of original materials.
