The Oldham County Courthouse in Vega was built in 1915 to an altered Classical Revival design by architect O. G. Roquemore, after Vega won the county-seat election 134 to 45 that year. The building's original hipped roof was removed in 1967. The county's first courthouse, an 1884 sandstone building, still stands in the former seat of Tascosa, where it now houses the Julian Bivins Museum.
