Here's one of my favorites and it's also one that I show partiality. It's the Tarrant County Courthouse in Fort Worth. Constructed in 1895, it was one of the first steel framed buildings in Fort Worth. The height of the building is 194 feet and it was modeled after the Texas State Capitol. The granite used on the exterior comes from the same quarry. It is also one of the beautiful Texas Courthouses.
