The star atop the building makes it pretty obvious that this courthouse is in Texas! Pretty fancy for a town with a population pf less than 7,000. I guess this serves a much larger community than that, though. I hope most of the crime there involves traffic violations rather than serious offence. ;)
Oh I absolutely love that last shot. B
Wow- the topper on this one is beautiful! Love the design- the star, the clocks...gorgeous architecture.
i'm glad you caught it with the guy going in the front door. makes it seem more functional that way. :)
Nice looking courthouse. I've been through the town a few times but never saw the courthouse.
i like the view of the stairs through the front windows.. yet another grand old lady
Cool. A courthouse decorated for the holidays 365... Lonestar.
What a great clock tower!
I love the clock tower but, the building seems a bit stark compared to some of the elaborate buildings you've shown us.
