History

The present Andrews County Courthouse was built in 1938-1939 in the Moderne style to a design by architect William Thomas Strange Jr., replacing the county's first courthouse of 1911. The original building is a rectangular buff-brick structure with tall vertical windows; a one-story red-brick addition with a framed central entrance was added on the east side in 1956. Andrews County was organized in 1910 and named for Richard Andrews, said to be the first man killed in the Texas Revolution.
