Presidio County Courthouse
The 1886 Second Empire-style courthouse at the heart of Marfa; its pink brick walls and dome are the town's landmark, and you can climb to the top for views over the high plains.
This courthouse was built in 1886 in the Second Empire style, with pink brick walls and a towering dome. It stands at the end of Highland Street and is the most striking building in Marfa. On weekdays, when it is open, you can usually climb to the top of the dome and look over the town's grid of streets and the surrounding high plains. The galleries, bookshops and cafés on both sides of the main street in front of the courthouse make a good starting point for exploring the town on foot.
