“once a bustling hub of activity for Collin County”

The Historic Collin County Courthouse In its prime, from 1876 to 1927, the Historic Collin County Courthouse was a bustling hub of activity for Collin County. Many historical events and memories were made in and around the building. Designed in the style of the French Second Empire, the Collin County Courthouse was considered the tallest building in Texas north of San Antonio upon its completion in early1875. It consisted of two floors, a steep mansard roof with patterned shingles, decorative cut stone and twin towers above the roof line on the east side of the building.  1927 Remodel The Courthouse was drastically remodeled in 1927. Floor levels were changed, a basement and third floor were added, and the entire exterior was clad in buff brick. The old roof was replaced with a new concrete roof deck behind a new parapet, and all other wood framing was likewise replaced with fireproof steel and concrete.

The old courthouse is now home to MPAC, McKinney Performing Arts Center. MPAC hosts national talent, concerts, and shows in the Courtyard Theater. The courtyard theater is remodeled from the courtroom and still has balcony seating. Stop by to see a show, stay for dinner on the square and browse some of the local shops.
