Dallas County Courthouse Texas The Dallas County Courthouse, built in 1892 of red sandstone with rusticated marble accents, is a historic governmental building located at 100 South Houston Street in Dallas, Texas. Also known as the Old Red Courthouse, it became the Old Red Museum, a local history museum, in 2007. It was designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque style of architecture by architect Max A. Orlopp, Jr. of the Little Rock, Arkansas based firm Orlopp & Kusener. In 1966 it was replaced by a newer courthouse building nearby. On December 12, 1976, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places
I like the construction but I'm not sure if I agree with the location. Sure it's a lovely place but too different in comparison with the neighborhood. Maybe it is the point of being so spectacular.
We absolutely loved the justice of the peace who married us, as he shared a story of being stationed at Ft. Sill with a man that shared the same last name; Speed: This was a good experience. Efficient, thoughtful and I'd say I'd do it again but I think I'll keep this one!!
"The Old Red Courthouse", as Dallasites like myself call it, is a historic building under renovation right now. I'm not sure what they use "The Old Red Courthouse" for anymore but it doesn't matter to me. I think the architecture is so beautiful. It's a keeper and I'm happy that the City of Dallas, Texas feels the way I do.
This place looked more like a castle to me at first. However, as I entered the place, I was fascinated with the history it has. The files and exhibits were really amazing.
Pretty unique for a courthouse.
Long lines and terrible parking. Such is the reality of public service buildings.
Parking the worst took me 45 for a 10 min appt and cost $7.00
