Las Moras Masonic Lodge Building

(First County Courthouse)

Built in 1878-1879 to serve as the first county-owned courthouse for Kinney County, this structure served that purpose for thirty-two years. In 1911 it became the headquarters of the Las Moras Masonic Lodge, which was chartered in 1876. While the Lodge used the second floor, the ground floor was leased to the U.S. Postal Service for the Brackettville Post Office from 1918 until 1983. Over the years, the building has also served as office space for Kinney County government departments.

Marker is at the intersection of Ann Street (Ranch to Market Road 674) and Cook Alley, on the left when traveling north on Ann Street.
