Van Zandt County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Canton, Texas. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
There have been six courthouses serving Van Zandt County.[2] The first courthouse, in Jordan's Saline, was constructed in 1848 in a Greek Revival style.[3] The second courthouse, constructed in 1850, was a log cabin in Canton.[4] The third courthouse was a brick structure built in 1859, also in Canton.[5] The fourth courthouse was a two-story structure built in 1873 in Canton.[6] The fifth courthouse was a brick building constructed in a Richardsonian Romanesque style in 1896 in Canton. It was razed to make room for a new courthouse in 1925.[7]
The sixth and current Van Zandt County Courthouse was built from 1936 to 1937 using special county funds and a grant from the federal Public Works Administration. The building was designed by Voelcker & Dixon in an Art Deco style.[8]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
