The Edwards County Courthouse is an 1891 Romanesque Revival stone building located in the center of the Rocksprings town square.

Constructed in 1891 by architects Ben Davey and Bruno Schott, the Edwards County Courthouse stands as a prominent fixture in downtown Rocksprings. The two-story structure was built using rusticated limestone sourced from a local quarry just east of the city limits. Following a devastating fire in 1898 that left only the exterior walls, the building was reconstructed with a simplified design. Today, it continues to function as an active government facility.
