The Present Kaufman County Courthouse

Date - 1956
Architect - A. Warren Morey and McGill, Dallas
Style - Modern
Material - Brick, steel, aluminum and black marble

Photographer's Note:
"The current 1956 Kaufman County courthouse is shrouded in trees which helps to hide its modern staleness. To add insult to injury, a security booth was recently constructed to the front of the building, further obscuring the facade of this architectural masterpiece." -
