The Hood County Courthouse Historic District in Granbury, Texas encompasses a 12-acre complex centered on the Victorian courthouse built in 1890–1891 by architect Wesley Clark Dodson. The district preserves one of the most complete nineteenth-century courthouse squares in Texas, with the principal courthouse flanked by significant contemporary structures including the Hood County Jailhouse (1885), First National Bank Building (1885), Granbury Opera House (1886), Hood County News building (1891), Aston-Landers Saloon Building (1893), and Nutt Brothers Building (1893). Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the district holds status as both a State Antiquities Landmark and encompasses several Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks, reflecting the architectural and civic importance of this late nineteenth-century commercial and governmental center.
