Rusk County Courthouse (Henderson, Texas)
This structure was built in 1928 in Texas Renaissance style with Art Deco elements. The firm of Curtis and Thomas, and A. C. Gentry designed the edifice, which is a central fixture of the community.
The structure is a contributing property to the Henderson Commercial Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
The county seat of Henderson shares its name with Henderson County (which has its county seat at Athens), and the county shares its name with the county seat of Rusk, which is in Cherokee County. Needless to say, this county is sometimes confused with others.
