Marker Text: ​In 1856, the Texas legislature created and organized San Saba County. A two-story frame courthouse (1857-1878) and later a stone courthouse (1878-1901) on this site served the county and provided space for public gatherings. In 1910, the city of San Saba incorporated, and county residents, spurred by news of a railroad connection, authorized a new courthouse. Alabama architect Walter Chamberlain designed this classical revival building, faced in pressed brick and rusticated sandstone: completed by the time train's arrival in August 1911, it serves as the seat of justice from the people to the people.
