The Stephens County Courthouse is located in Breckenridge, Texas.

“The Stephens County Courthouse, designed in 1925 with construction spanning through 1926, creates a dramatic governmental landmark for both Stephens County and the city of Breckenridge. The courthouse occupies the public square central to the town’s gridiron street system.
“Abilene architect David Castle finished this efficient composition in a sophisticated Classical Revival styling, rendered in light gray limestone  throughout. The 1926 courthouse, the third courthouse built in Stephens County, symbolizes the prosperity that developed in the town and county during the 1920’s oil boom.”  From the National Register listing narrative
