This picture shows Grayson County's first Courthouse. The log Courthouse was built in 1847 at a cost of $273.00 per Democrat files. Specifications ordered for this Courthouse described a frame 24 feet square, nine feet high with two doors, two windows, 12 lights each. It fell victim to fire by a group of drunk men who wanted to settle a bet of whether a Gray Goose nested beneath it.

This picture reflects the pride of the county, a majestic Grayson County Courthouse completed in 1876. It was later remodeled in 1916 which included the removal of the cupola with the clock and bell. A bell which had called many of people to many of meetings. This beautiful structure fell victim to an angry mob who, with a blow torch and dynamite burnt it to the ground in 1930.

This picture is the present day Grayson County Courthouse completed in 1936 after the 1876 Courthouse was burned down by an angry mob in 1930. This Courthouse was of English design, built of native Texas limestone quarried near Austin, Texas.
