Marker Text: Fayetteville citizens raised $600.00 in private funds, received $200.00 in tax money from the county commissioners' court, and built this Victorian precinct courthouse in 1880. A ball held in the new building netted funds for painting. The 2-cell calaboose upstairs was completed in 1887. A ladies' club donated the clock in 1934. In early Texas, precinct courthouses were very rare. (1977)
