The renovated 1910 Harris County Courthouse was reopened in 2011. Work began in 2003, when Commissioners Court authorized a preservation master plan that proposed to restore the building’s exterior and the public spaces inside to their 1910 appearance. The work included re-opening the building’s rotunda, recreating the stained glass dome and ornate plasterwork, and reconstructing two of the original courtrooms. In addition to County funding, the project received a grant from the Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program administered by Texas Historical Commission.
