do you have any photos taken at Jot em down? i love that name, made me smile
it's really pretty. the stucco looks really nice! loved your mileage comparison to el paso vs. indy. :)
Looks pretty good for it's age. I would imagine it must have been gorgeous with the red brick.
This one almost has a church-like quality to it. I love the way this photos is framed by those two gorgeous trees.
I'm not a fan of stucco but it looks nice on this building. I really like all the arched windows.
I love the architecture. Completely different then the houses I see here. I find it very interesting.

I'm looking for a flag on the courthouse today... but my eyes are failing me.
Great color.
