Irish Castle Courthouse

Irish Castle Courthouse


Center, Texas (TX), US
The only Irish Castle style courthouse remaining in the country. Designed in 1885 by J.J.E. Gibson, an Irish architect who was nostalgic for his homeland. He built in an escape hatch for the judge to run away from angry mobs upset with the verdict. Read more and see some nice pics at the link below.
