.A.R C H I T E X A S .......................... <br />Project Profile <br /> <br />Old Harrison County Courthouse <br />Marl~sall, Texas <br /> <br />Client <br />Harrison County <br /> <br />ARCHITEXAS prepared a Preservation Plan that included a comprehensive structural stabilization and <br />restoration plan for the historic Harrison County Courthouse which was designed by J. Riley Gordon and <br />constructed in 1900. The Preservation Plan was initiated by a detailed and comprehensive evaluation of <br />the existing conditions to determine the most appropriate method to stabilize and eventually preserve this <br />valuable historic resource. As no existing drawings existed, ARCHITEXAS field measured the building so <br />that plans could be drawn and an accurate analysis could be made. The inspection was based on a format <br />established by the National Park Services and was organized into priorities and associated costs for <br />restoration to allow for long range master plan. <br /> <br />In addition to the stabilization recommendations the Preservation Plan included an assessment and recom- <br />mendations for the existing Historical Museum which has been in the courthouse since 1965. Conover <br />Hunt collaborated with ARCHITEXAS to prepare a comprehensive plan and operational recommenda- <br />tions for the museum which has holdings numbering in the thousand of artifacts and objects and dating <br />from the late 18th century to the present. <br /> <br />ARCHiTEXAS updated the Historic Structures Report and Master Plan to meet the stanards of the <br />Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Pro~rarn. <br /> <br /> <br />
