City Hall, Police Department, Municipal Court & CVB

Construction Cost : $4M | SF : 27,800 The City of Granbury derives over 65% of its income from tourism centered around Its historic downtown square. The new Law Enforcement Center/City Hall site was located on an occupied tract of land directly adjacent to the downtown square within the historic overlay district. The exterior design of Granbury City Hall reflects the architectural vocabulary of the historic Hood County Courthouse, Granbury Opera House and Nutshell Retail Shop on the courthouse square through the use of large rough hewn limestone, authentically detailed wood windows, heavy wood cornices, eye-brow limestone lintels and metal standing seam roofing. Inside, the historic persona continues with rustic Brazilian mesquite hardwood floors, cherry millwork, hammered patina copper countertops, stamped metal ceilings and rough hewn limestone walls. Granbury’s multi-purpose municipal and public safety building contains City Administration, Municipal Court, Public Safety/Police, Utility Billing, Finance, Community Development, Planning, Court Clerk, Building Inspection, Council Chambers and the Convention & Visitors Center (CVC). The complex was designed as the terminus of an extended public entrance plaza with views through the main lobby to a large fountain, winding creek and courtyard behind the facility. Limestone clad veranda’s at the second floor overlook both the front plaza and rear fountain.
