San Saba County Courthouse

San Saba County Courthouse

San Saba, Texas
The San Saba County Courthouse has functioned as the County’s official courthouse since its completion in 1911. The three-story building was designed in the Classical Revival Style, with a monumental portico and a bell and clock tower. Following years of disrepair, the courthouse received several emergency projects in the early 2000s to keep the building functioning for County services.

In 2014, Architexas was hired by San Saba County to provide architectural services required to implement an emergency grant provided by the Texas Historical Commission’s Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program (THCPP), including the preparation of construction documents and the provision of construction administration services for Phase I, new electrical service, and interior and exterior stairway repairs. Phase I was substantially complete in July of 2016.

In September of 2016, the San Saba County Courthouse was awarded a THCPP grant to undertake Phase II, full restoration of the courthouse. Architexas provided design and construction administration services to ensure the building met the County’s needs for the next hundred years. Scope of work included replacement of MEP systems, careful integration of a new fire alarm and fire riser system, and restoration of historic elements and materials. Phase II was finished in 2020.
