Two facades are dominated by a monumental Corinthian colonnade supporting a full entablature and a high roof parapet. Behind the columns, a glazed curtain wall contrasts with masonry end bays that have stone-trimmed six-over-six sash windows. Broad steps rise to three sets of pedimented double doors, and a circular fountain marks the entry approach, with mature trees around the site. Interior ceiling decoration and brass details were restored between 1981 and 1983. Dallas architect Anton Korn designed the building, and P.O'B. Montgomery of Dallas served as contractor. It cost $240,000 to build, a sign of the prosperity of the 1920s and the weight county residents gave to local government. The courthouse was recognized as an excellent example of Classical Revival architecture, important to San Angelo and to Texas, with significant interior detailing.","period_of_significance":"1928","architect_builder":"Architect Anton Korn (Dallas); contractor P.O'B.
