The Marker reads:
After Garza County's creation in 1976, it was not until 1907, at the initiative of cereal producer C. W. Post, that the county was formally organized in 1922, the population had grown to 4500, the cotton industry had spurred economic growth. The sale of bonds financed the new courthouse. Prominent regional architect, Guy Carlander was selected to design the courthouse, construction bid was awarded to Fred T. Bone Co. both of Amarillo. Built in 1923 of reinforced concrete, brick exterior and cast stone details, the Garza County Courthouse is a late, but fine, example of Prairie School Architecture.
