Edwards County Courthouse
Constructed in 1891 by architects Ben Davey and Bruno Schott, the Edwards County Courthouse stands as a prominent fixture in downtown Rocksprings. The two-story structure was built using rusticated limestone sourced from a local quarry just east of the city limits. Following a devastating fire in 1898 that left only the exterior walls, the building was reconstructed with a simplified design. Today, it continues to function as an active government facility.
