    Decatur is the seat of Texas' Wise County, which is about an hour or so north of the Dallas-Fort…read moreWorth metroplex. It is bordered to the north by Montague County which is adjacent to Oklahoma. So we're pretty far north in East Texas. Wise County was founded in 1856 and is named after Virginia Congressman Henry A. Wise, who has supported annexation of Texas by the United States. He was elected governor of Virginia in 1856. J. Riely Gordon's design of the Wise County Courthouse was similar but not identical to his design for the Ellis County Courthouse https://www.yelp.com/biz/ellis-county-courthouse-waxahachie?hrid=eBGUKM-BrvGmolUsyqKK0w. It was built in 1896 and illustrates Romanesque Revival characteristics that are found in a number of Gordon's Texas courthouses. This includes the use of turrets, a tower, segmented massing and fine ashlar masonry of contrasting textures and hues. The central tower, with its projecting balconies, setbacks and dormers, crowns the building. Particularly distinctive is the fine masonry work throughout the structure. The exterior walls are of rusticated pink granite, while the main columns are of polished pink granite. Unfortunately, the building was closed for the night when I was here at 5:30pm on Saturday. I'd have liked to see the inside. [Review 16105 overall - 285 in Texas - 1610 of 2021.]

Hubby and I enjoyed walking around and looking at all of the outside details, but unfortunately, were not able to go inside... not sure if there is anything touristy to visit on the inside anyway.

    Just legally got married at this location and it was the best day of my life. I would like to say…read morehowever process of getting an appointment at this location is really hard and you really need to plan way in advance till the process is improved for the future brides as it can be very stressful. I called this location every day for an available appointment as unfortunately their website does not offer online appointments and that's the only way or going to the courthouse in person. Not everyone sadly is very nice on the phone as well so that can add to the stress. Fortunately someone named Lin was able to put me on schedule due to a recent cancellation. The judge who married us was so kind and gave us such great marriage advices. Overall I am happy that I chose this court house despite its challenges as not only it's truly beautiful inside and outside their judge truly makes your day special with their kind words.

    Wow! What an honor and privilege to be able to walk in here. This ancient courthouse made me feel…read moreso special because of the architecture. The landscaping is well taken care of but inside does not smell so fresh. The steps are steep and intimidating. I don't like heights. The Security Officers were very nice and helpful. The Gentleman explained to be where I needed to go. He was also friendly when I asked him questions. There's a small Museum to the left. It was pretty busy. I saw a kid doing a book report for class, along with a few other visitors. I ran into a Police Officer and he told me where to go too. The ladies in the office went the extra mile to help. Parking was near by. You just scan and pay. I saw two Brides getting their Bridal Portraits. It was such a nice moment. The fourth floor has a colorful Rotunda that many people enjoy seeing. This is definitely a unique Courthouse with lots of pictures inside. I would definitely recommend this courthouse.
