Texas governor hopes to presf
historical, endangered courtho^
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas' his
toric county courthouses, many
of which have fallen into disre
pair, Monday were named to the
list of America's most endan
gered historic places.
Gov. George W. Bush said it is
time for the state to help save the
aging buildings.
“I can't think of a better
symbol of what has made our
state great than the courthous
es," Bush said. “Texans consid
er these symbolic centers of
community as treasures worth
preserving."
According to the Texas His
torical Commission, the state has
225 historic courthouses.
Some 150 were built before
1920, and about 80 of those
were built prior to the turn of
the century.
"Courthouses, like jazz and
baseball, are uniquely American
contributions to the world. With
more than 225 historic courthous
es, Texas has one of the nation's
best collections," Richard Moe,
president of the National T rust for
Historic Preservation said.
That group named the old
Texas courthouses to its list of
11 most endangered historic
places in the nation, joining
such sites as the Chancel-
lorsville Civil War battlefield in
Virginia and Cannery Row in
Monterey, Calif.
Dealey Herndon, who over
saw restoration of the Texas
Capitol for several years and
now is a trustee of the national
preservation trust, said saving
Texas courthouses is critical.
"They are in various states of
disrepair and many may be
lost," she said. But the court
houses display "remarkable di
versity in architecture, and
most still have county govern
ment in them."
Herndon said Texas' size and
the isolation of some courthous
es in rural communities
the urgency. "We hav
courthouses, and (-•
