The Kimble County Courthouse in Junction, the county's third, was built in 1929 to a design by San Antonio architect Henry Truman Phelps. By the late 1920s Phelps' work had taken on the Art Moderne (Art Deco) style, seen here in the building's geometric ornament, cast-stone pilasters, engaged columns and stepped parapet. It replaced an 1885 stone courthouse that had earlier been destroyed by fire.
