Project Pro. file <br /> <br />Hill County Courthouse <br />Hillsboro, Texas <br /> <br />Client <br />Hill County Commissioners' Court <br />ARCHITEXAS provided preservation architectural services for the rehabilitation and restoration of the Hill <br />County Courthouse in Hillsboro, Texas. The 1890 courthouse was designed by W. C. Dodson and is one of <br />Texas' most significant historic county courthouses. Designed in a Texas version of the Second Empire Style, <br />the interior and exterior had been altered in several renovations. A f~re ravaged the courthouse on January I, <br />1993 leaving only the exterior and interior limestone walls yet leaving restoration possible. <br />ARCHITEXAS provided comprehensive preservation/rehabilitation services for the accurate restoration of <br />the exterior of the building which was based on extensive historic research. The interior was rehabiliated to <br />improve functional, life safety and technological capabilities in a historic character that is compatible with the <br />original 1890 design. <br /> ARCHITEXAS also assisted in the fund-raising effort to raise approximately $3.5 million to add to the $3.5 <br /> million insurance settlement and an additional $3,000,000 from the ISTEA Program. Phase I Exterior Resto- <br /> ration was completed in 1996. Phase lI Interior Rehabilitation was completed in Spring 1999. <br /> <br /> <br />
