Riely Gordon\, Kahn & Stanzel Building Architect: \nThe Kahn & Stanzel building in Hallettsville\, Texas\, built in 1890\, has recently been restored in the first part of this century and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. This edifice was designed by architect J. Riely Gordon\, and is currently used as an art\, performance and learning center. \nJames Riely Gordon (1863-1937)\, referred to as Riely\, was born in Virginia\, and moved with his family to San Antonio when he was around ten years old. He graduated from the public school at age 14 and worked as a civil engineer and a draftsman. His education as an architect was self-taught\, making his extraordinary career all the more impressive. In 1902 Gordon moved to New York City\, where he continued his successful career and served as President of the New York Society of Architects for thirteen years. \nTexas was blessed with a number of fine architects in the late-19th century\, but few were self-educated and most received their training outside the state. For example\, Nicholas Clayton (1840-1916) emigrated from Ireland with his widowed mother\, eventually apprenticed with a Memphis architectural firm that sent him to Galveston to supervise work there. He decided to stay. Alfred Giles (1853-1920) was educated in England at King’s College\, London University and worked for a London architectural firm before immigrating to the United States and settling in San Antonio. Eugene T. Heiner (1853-1901)\, designer of the 1897 Lavaca County Courthouse\, apprenticed with the Chicago architect William LeBaron Jenney before moving to Houston in 1878. \nBuilt over 30 County Courthouses – 18 in Texas: J. Riely Gordon became known for designing county courthouses that were particularly well suited for the Texas climate and building materials. \nAransas County Courthouse in Rockport (1889-90\, now lost)\nFayette County Courthouse in La Grange (1890-91)\nBexar County Courthouse (1892-97)\nErath County Courthouse in Stephenville (1891-92) \nOld Victoria County Courthouse (1892) \nOld Brazoria County Courthouse in Brazoria (1894-95\, now lost)\nHopkins County Courthouse in Sulphur Springs (1894-95) \nGonzales County Courthouse (1894-96) \nSan Patricio County Courthouse in Sinton (1894-95\, now lost) \nVan Zandt County Courthouse in Canton (1894-96\, now lost)\nEllis County Courthouse in Waxahachie (1894-97)\nWise County Courthouse in Decatur (1895-97)\nComal County Courthouse in New Braunfels (1898)\nLee County Courthouse in Giddings (1898-99) \nOld Harrison County Courthouse in Marshall (1899-1901) \nCallahan County Courthouse in Baird (1900\, now lost) \nMcLennan County Courthouse in Waco (1900-02) \nAngelina County Courthouse in Lufkin (1902-03\, now lost)\nGordon also designed many buildings that were not courthouses. For Hallettsville\, he designed the 1890 Kahn & Stanzel Building; an opera house (now lost); and the Rosenberg Building (remodeled). Other notable buildings by J. Riely Gordon include the Texas State Building for the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago (1892-93\, now lost) and the Arizona Territorial Capitol in Phoenix (1899-1900\, now the Arizona Capitol Museum). \nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			More\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print
