Montague County Courthouse (Montague, Texas) Historical Marker for the Montague County Courthouse in Montague, Texas. The plaque states: Montague County Courthouse - Montague County was created in Dec. 1857 and organized in Aug. 1858. A log cabin and a frame store served as temporary courthouses. Fires destroyed a two-story frame building (1873) and a two-story stone courthouse (1884). In that same year, construction began on a second stone courthouse, which lasted until a 1912 storm severely damaged it. County commissioners selected Waco architect George Burnett to design the present Classical Revival style temple of Justice. A. H. Rodgers of Henrietta was the contractor.

Completed in May 1913, it has been the center of government and activity in the county for more than a century. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 2013
