Description

Photograph of Anderson County Courthouse in Palestine, TX. A paved road divided by a white line runs across the bottom of the photo and is separated from the courthouse's lawn by a sidewalk. A white car is parked in front of the sidewalk, towards the center of the photo. To the left of the car, in the courthouse's lawn, grows a leafless tree. The courthouse itself is made of red bricks and white stone, constructed in a rectangular shape with a flat roof lined with railing and a shiny, gold dome in the roof's center. The courthouse faces the right side of the photo and has an entrance shadowed by a rectangular overhang supported by brick columns. A short set of stairs leads up to the building's doors from the lawn. A row of windows runs along each side of the building's first floor. On top of the overhang sit many white columns that extend from the bottom of the second floor to the top of the third floor to hold up a large white triangular pediment. Two rows of windows, one each for the second and third floors, span the width of each of the courthouse's sides, all spaced apart by more white columns which support white rectangular pediments. A second triangular pediment is visible in the center of the left side of the courthouse, which faces the left edge of the photo. The gold dome on the roof of the building has tall windows across its base and the sculpture of a human figure at the top of its dome.
