Reeves County Courthouse

-A A +A
1937, Trost and Trost. 100 E. 4th St.

Designed by the El Paso firm after Henry C. Trost’s death, the courthouse is a symmetrical brick-clad composition of wings that step outward from a central three-story mass topped with a red barrel-tiled hipped roof, a scheme that may derive from but lacks the sophistication of Trost and Trost’s San Angelo City Hall (SS3). The front has a projecting first-floor entrance pavilion with four arched openings. Five cast-stone roundels are set in the brick wall above the arches. The central block is framed by projecting flat-roofed end blocks (with third-floor additions that muddle the profile of the original design).
