History
The Atascosa County Courthouse in Jourdanton, built in 1912-1913 to a design by San Antonio architect Henry T. Phelps, is the only surviving Mission Revival-style county courthouse in Texas. Its distinctive features include shaped parapets, tile-roofed corner towers, arched openings and liberal use of the Alamo motif above the entrances; the construction contract went to the Gordon-Jones Construction Company on a bid of about $65,000. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, the courthouse was restored in 2003 with help from the Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program.
