The Parker County Courthouse located in Weatherford, Texas is a historic and architectural treasure that has stood the test of time. Built in 1886, it was designed by architect Wesley Clark Dodson in the Second Empire style, which was popular in the late nineteenth century. The courthouse’s most distinctive features include its mansard roof and prominent clock tower, both of which create a commanding presence in the Weatherford skyline. Constructed from local limestone, the courthouse reflects the pride of Parker County, becoming a symbol of its governance and community heritage.

This courthouse was erected after two previous courthouses had either become too small or were destroyed by fire. The current structure is the third iteration and was part of a statewide effort to build more permanent, fireproof courthouses during that era. In addition to its functional role, the building serves as a beautiful example of the detailed architectural work that Dodson was known for, featuring elaborate stonework and large, arched windows.I’ve always found the Parker County Courthouse to be a stunning piece of history, and each time I pass it, I can’t help but marvel at its timeless design and the stories it holds within its walls.#parkercountycourthouse #texashistory #weatherfordtx #historicalarchitecture #wesleyclarkdodson #landmark #secondempire #secondempirearchitecture ...

We're celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Ramay-Macatee Speaker Series, and many people ask about the origin of its name. Georgia Ramay and Vircy Macatee were both influential leaders in Granbury, known for their passion for education and historical preservation. At our very first event ten years ago, Vircy and Georgia were there, fully backing the idea of creating a speaker series. It was then that The Bridge Street History Center chose to name the series in their honor. Without them, The Bridge Street History Center wouldn’t exist! Both women would be delighted by its growth and success.
