Description
Historic Vintage Elegance in the Heart of Downtown
The Courthouse Mural Room (interior) is the jewel of this stunning, historical 1929 Spanish-Moorsish structure. There are four main elements of the Mural Room: furniture, tile, ceiling and murals. But it is the 6,700 square feet of hand painted Groesbeck murals that capture everyone’s interest. Intricately painted ceiling is just as captivating and represents the most detailed hand stenciling in the Courthouse. This room is 40’ wide by 70’ long with a ceiling height of 25’ to 30’. All the inside surfaces of these doors are covered in rich brown leather and painted with a diamond pattern overlaid with a large painted ceremonial shields that represents the unification of Spain under Ferdinand V (of Aragon) and Isabella (of Castile).
