Kendall County Courthouses

Kendall County was created in 1862. In 1870, a courthouse was built of limestone rock. This is the second-oldest courthouse still in use in Texas. The courthouse was expanded in 1909, doubling the size of the building for a cost of $5,750.

In 1998 the new Kendall County Courthouse was completed at a price of over $4 million. The design of this new building is in harmony with that of the 1870 courthouse. It has 3 stories and more than 43,000 feet of space.

This historic courthouse has undergone several renovations, the most recent of which was the project completed in 2010. Much of its original splendor has been restored. As you look at the outside of the building, see if you notice the different bricks used between the 1870 and 1909 expansions.
