Evolution of the 1908 Randall County Courthouse Building
The orginal clock tower on the 1908 building was removed during a 1945 remodeling project. In 1957, an annex was added to the north side of the building, and another added to the south side in 1968.  Both annexes were demolished and the clock tower restored during the 2010 renovation of the exterior.  Restoration of the interior is pending.
