10/29 - 10/30/11 Conroe, Huntsville, Groveton, Crockett


Conroe courthouse, 1936 - being remodeled.
Architect: Joseph Finger
Conroe is also home to Southern Star Brewery, which brews some mighty fine beer! 


Huntsville courthouse, 1970.
Architect: Joiner, Coburn & King
We stayed in Huntsville - had dinner at the Farmhouse (yum!), happened upon Scare in the Square (Halloween festival) and found the old jail and Sam Houston's "grave" - he's not actually buried here.  


Groveton courthouse, 1913. 
Architect: C. H. Page
The copper doors are lovely, the town is quiet.  The old jail is still in use. 


Copper doors at Groveton - wow!


Groveton jail, 1938, still in use!


Crockett courthouse, 1939.
Architect: Blum E. Hester
  Hometown of Lightnin' Hopkins.  Nice town, well-kept.
