The Crockett County Courthouse in Ozona was built in 1902 of hand-cut native limestone, designed by San Angelo architect Oscar Ruffini in the Second Empire style with Richardsonian Romanesque elements. It replaced a wood-frame courthouse of 1891, and in its first few decades also served as a community center for social events and weekly dances. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 1974, and is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark and a Texas State Antiquities Landmark.
