Lee County Courthouse in Giddings, Texas. Designed by J. R. Gordon along lines similar to New York State Capitol and several buildings at Harvard University. Classified as Richardsonian Romanesque style, after the famous Louisiana-born architect Henry H. Richardson. Built by Sonnefield, Emmins and Abright of San Antonio, 1899. Replaced first courthouse, which burned 1897. Located on crest of divide separating the Colorado and Brazos River basins.
The courthouse is between Hempstead and Richmond Street on Main in Giddings; one block from the busy intersection of highway 77 and 290. This 1899 structure is completed one year after the Comal County Courthouse in New Braunfels. Gordon designed them both.
