Jefferson County Courthouse 1854
The first Courthouse here was completed in 1854. Built by John A. Beaumont, it was a two story square structure surrounded by a six-foot picket fence. Baptist and Methodist congregations conducted Sunday services in the building and during the Civil War it was leased to D. T. Inglehart, a Confederate surgeon, for use as a hospital. http://www.co.jefferson.tx.us/historical_commission/hist_courthouse.htm
