The Llano County Courthouse stands in the center of the historic square, serving as a prominent example of late 19th-century civic architecture in the Texas Hill Country.

Completed in 1893, the Llano County Courthouse is the fourth structure to serve as the seat of local government. Designed by architects A.O. Watson and Jacob Larmour, the building features a Romanesque Revival style. The construction utilized locally quarried granite, along with sandstone and marble, reflecting the natural resources of the surrounding region. The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 and underwent a comprehensive restoration completed in 2002 to preserve its original architectural elements.
