Old Cora Courthouse

Soon after Comanche County was created in 1856, the town of Cora, 10 miles southeast, was platted to serve as the county seat. Its courthouse, typical of many early Texas courthouses, was a one-room, squared log structure measuring 12 feet 7 inches by 12 feet 10 inches. It served the county until the seat of government moved to Comanche in 1859. Incorporated into a house built about 1880 and moved several times over the years, the Old Cora Courthouse remains a reminder of the now-extinct town of Cora and of early Texas courthouse architecture.
