The Titus County Courthouse is located in Mount Pleasant - it’s the 5th courthouses for the county, but y’all might be surprised to find out that the current courthouse was built in 1895! In 1940 county officials decided that it would be easier to “modernize” the 1895 courthouse than to build a new one, so they removed most of the exterior features and put up the “modern” façade. In the 1960s the courthouse was remodeled again, and this time most of the windows were covered over. The newest remodeling was done in the 1990s when the stucco façade was put up. Some people call the Titus County Courthouse an “ugly duckling story in reverse”.
