If one visits the court house in Castro County, I suggest looking across the street to the north at the Kerr Hardware Store. It closed the year I was born, 1961. The story I read was that Mr Kerr decided to close the store than to be forced to charge his customers sales tax. What you see will amaze you. Appliances, bikes, tools, fishing tackle, you name it, all covered in dust just sitting as it was left in 1961. I wish I knew more of the story as I sure its an interesting one.
The court house it'self is one of the boring modern style court houses built in 1940. The third I believe to have served Castro County.
I have been to every county in Texas and have seen many of the court houses but not all of them.
