The courthouse originally had a rusticated base of light-colored stone or concrete, punctuated with arched openings. The upper two floors featured rectangular windows, numerous cartouches, and an ornate cornice. In the 1970s, the courthouse was remodeled and encased in a Modern style building characterized by dramatic three-story bracket columns, blank granite panel exterior walls, and a deep projecting roof.

History

The Scurry County Courthouse in Snyder was completed in 1911 in a Texas Renaissance style designed by the Dallas firm Lang & Witchell (Otto H. Lang), with M. S. Hasie Construction Co. as builder. Its original central tower was removed in a 1950 remodeling, and a 1972 project by architect Joseph D. Hinton essentially encased the 1911 building in granite, giving it a Modern look.
