This Tiffany style glass dome is in the 2nd floor District Court Room of the Columbus, Texas 1890 Colorado County Courthouse. Originally, the Courthouse had a tower. The July 21, 1909 hurricane tore off the roof and tower. Every room was damaged in the courthouse. Repairs were made, but instead of replacing the tower, a stained glass dome was added. In 1939 a basement was added to the building and in 1950 more space was added... this stress cracked the stained glass. It was removed and a false ceiling was put up. In 1978 the false ceiling was removed and the dome was restored. The umbrella-shaped glass sculpture was added in 1980. The Courthouse is a Texas Historical Landmark, a State Archaeological Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places. The Courthouse is still in use.
