The current courthouse was completed in 1900, and the datestone was laid by the Brady Lodge of the Freemasons on September 29, 1899.

[3] When the decision was made in 1899 to erect a new courthouse, Martin & Moodie submitted their proposal and were awarded the contract.

[3] In both 1936 and 1938, Brady Creek (San Saba River) overflowed its banks and caused flooding in and around the courthouse.

[7] On the courthouse grounds is a Heart of Texas granite marker designed by Earl V. Finlay.

Funding for the 7 feet 6 inches (2.29 m) monument was provided by the Brady Chamber of Commerce and the McCulloch County Commissioners' Court.
