Glasscock County’s first county commissioners court issued bonds on May 9, 1893, a little over one month after the county’s formal organization, to erect a combination courthouse and jail building. L. T. Noyes of Houston, with the assistance of plasterer William T. Lovell, completed the two-story stone structure on February 12, 1894. Its ground floor originally housed court sessions and its second floor served as the jail, and after later being used only as a jail, it remained notable for subtle Classical influences including corner pilasters and a tall corbelled cornice. In 1909, county bonds issued through the First State Bank of Garden City financed a new courthouse by Mutual Construction Company, Inc. of Louisville, Kentucky, working with architects Edward C. Hasford & Co. of Dallas. Completed on August 27, 1910, the two and a half story Classical Revival building was constructed of three-foot-thick native stone from a local ranch owned by Steve Calverley and featured colossal Doric columns supporting an open pediment and a horizontal belt course following the second-floor window sills. The current Glasscock County Courthouse has remained in continuous use since 1910, and the original courthouse and jail building was replaced by a new jail in 1980.
