I found these while Googling images of tiki doors. The third floor of the McLennan County Courthouse in Waco, TX has tiki door pulls! Waco is the home of Dr. Pepper and that is about as exotic as that place gets. The courthouse was built in 1901 and as you can see from the outside it's fairly ornate. Most of the county courthouses in Texas are elaborate looking. The only tiki connection I could figure out is McLennan County is next to Limestone County which is where Donn Beach was born. That is definitely stretching probability. I found a reddit post that said the door handles were installed because the wrong ones were ordered and they decided to go with what was shipped to them. Ok that is just flippin' cool! Never thought I would have a reason to visit tth McLennan County courthouse. :)
