History
The present Nacogdoches County Courthouse was completed in 1958 to a design by architect J. N. McCammon in a low-slung mid-century Moderne style sometimes likened to the ranch-house and motel architecture popular in 1950s suburban America. Built into a hillside, the two-story brick building has its first story below the slope of the ground and its second story at grade on the east. It replaced a 1911 courthouse designed by the Dallas firm of Lang & Witchell.
