Live Oak County Courthouse is located in George West, Texas. It is the county's third courthouse. The courthouse grounds includes a war memorial.
In 1857, a courthouse was built at the previous county seat of Oakville, Texas.[1]
The first courthouse at the county seat of George West was built in 1888.[1] The current courthouse in George West was designed by architect Alfred Giles in 1919 in the Classical revival style. This is the last courthouse Giles designed.[2] A town square three blocks from the railroad depot was planned in 1914 for the construction of the courthouse.[3] In 1956, Wyatt C. Hedrick designed an annex in the modern vernacular.[1]
The courthouse grounds holds a state historical marker denoting the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion, in honor of the men and women who served their country in the armed forces.[4]
