Donley County Courthouse Tales From a Century On
Clarendon’s 1890 courthouse, built by James W. Troutman, is touched by tragedy and history. A brick killed him during construction, and a 1909 shooting led to the last lawful Panhandle hanging in 1910. The structure’s top floor was removed after a 1930s wind, yet walls remain etched with names of veterans and locals, now aging under renovation and bats in summer. Gov. Bush urges restoration while residents recall the courthouse’s storied rooms and wasp interruptions in court.
