The present building is the third Courthouse in Bell County built on the same site. The first such building being a two room log cabin built in 1851 soon after the creation of the County in 1850. The second such structure was built in 1858 and torn down to make way for the third Courthouse.
The Bell County Courthouse designed in the Renaissance Revival style was truly a magnificent structure in 1884. This structure, which was built before the current state capital, is one of Texas' finest courthouses in a collection of outstanding public buildings. However, like many of the prominent Texas courthouses, federally funded renovation projects of the 1930's and 1950's had a detrimental impact on the building. The clock tower and much of the rich roof details were removed, the historic interior was modernized and radically altered.
The present Commissioners Court began the process of a complete restoration of the Bell County Courthouse. The restoration began in August 1998 and the interior renovation was completed in November 1999. The statue, dome, and clock tower were replaced with replicas in December 1999, returning the Courthouse to near its original beauty. The Courthouse is on the National Register of Historic Buildings and on the State Archeological Site Register.
At the present time there is a lot of controversy over the confederate statue you see on this side of the courthouse. It has been there 101 years. The NAACP wants it removed.
The Hickman County Courthouse in downtown Centerville, Tennessee. The statue in front is Minnie Pearl who grew up in the area.
I was actually surprised to see this Confederate memorial this far west in Texas (Lockhart is near San Antonio).
There are a lot of different ways to define when you are in the "South." Sociologist John Shelton Reed has written extensively about this and has suggested a number of interesting definitions based on, for example, the number of "Dixie" listings in the phone book, where kudzu grows, the percentage of Baptists, and where the subscribers of Southern Living magazine live.

By most of these measures, central Texas, like southern Florida, isn't particularly "Southern." Reed concludes that only the far eastern part of Texas should be thought of as "Southern."
And, although it's not one of Reed's Southern "markers," I would think having a Confederate memorial on the courthouse lawn is a pretty good indicator that you're in the South.
So, having pretty much accepted in my mind that central Texas is not really the "South, this monument seemed incongruous to me. Travel is educational.

Tucker, GA was created from the old Georgia Militia District named, Browning District #572. The militia districts were created in 1824 and there were originally 16 militia districts in DeKalb County. Our own, Browning Courthouse was a civil court, where a Justice of the Peace would be present on the third Saturday of each month. It was also used as a community meeting place. From current research, the small courthouse is the only example in the county of a militia district courthouse while other militia districts held court in homes or shops within the county.
Today, Browning Courthouse is used as a small museum which has been furnished as it might have been in the 1800's and has a display of copies of some of the court records dating back to the early 1800's.

This is the Bartow County Courthouse in Cartersville, Georgia. "The Bartow County Courthouse, built in 1902, is an historic redbrick Classical Revival style county courthouse located on Courthouse Square in Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia, United States.
Designed by the Louisville, Kentucky architectural firm of Kenneth McDonald & Co. together with self-taught Georgia architect J. W. Golucke, who is said to have designed 27 courthouses in Georgia and four in Alabama, it is Bartow County's third courthouse and the second one built in Cartersville. The first courthouse built in Cassville, while the county was known as Cass County, was burned by General Sherman's troops in 1864. In 1867 the county seat was moved to Cartersville and the second courthouse was built in 1873. It proved to be unsatisfactory because court proceedings had to be halted while trains passed by on the nearby railroad. In 1992 a courthouse annex known as the Frank Moore Administration and Judicial Center was completed.
While the 1902 building is still used for some court purposes, most of the proceedings are held in the 1992 building." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartow_County_Courthouse.

This is the 1896 County Courthouse in Denton, Texas. The camera is looking north-northwest. You can see the City Hall I mentioned earlier--with the red tile roof and bell tower. Note the "IOOF" sign at the extreme right. As I've mentioned elsewhere, this stands for Independent Order of Odd Fellows. It is a benevolent fraternal order I believe Calhoun Middle School is visible on the left hand border..
