CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas —On Wednesday, Nueces County commissioners unanimously approved moving forward with the demolition of the 1914 Nueces County Courthouse, authorizing the county to solicit bids from contractors capable of handling the large-scale project. 1 said an engineering firm has already been brought in to identify items worth saving from the 1914 Nueces County Courthouse. "Their initial plans that they relayed to us were that they would like to create a section in the Bullock Museum in Austin to create a display that honors the 1914 courthouse." 3 acknowledged the weight of the decision, noting that efforts to save the 1914 Nueces County Courthouse had been ongoing for years. _______________________________________________WATCH A TOUR OF THE 1914 COURTHOUSE_______________________________________________Construction and Opening (1913-1915)In August 1913, Nueces County voters approved a $250,000 bond issue to replace the aging "Hollub Courthouse" built in 1875.
