Judgment at Cleburne

Johnson County, Texas, located on the southwestern area of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, celebrates the grand re-opening of its 1913 courthouse, after an $eight million renovation equally funded by the local citizens and the state historical commission. Texas Finn wants to point out the notably beautiful and ornate geometric patterns that are characteristic of the Prairie-style of architecture so popular in the early20th century. What is now Johnson County was inhabited only by Indians until the mid 1840’s, when the first permanent settlement was established near Comanche Peak. Today, nearly 127,000 people call the county home.
