Description

Photograph of Bastrop County Courthouse in Bastrop, TX. The lawn of the courthouse fills the foreground of the photo, filled with trees growing from yellowing grass. Near the bottom left corner of the photo sits a small stone slab with a laurel wreath inscribed near its top along with "Major Joseph O. Sayers" written underneath. Farther into the photo, near the corner where the front and side of the courthouse meet, stands a white obelisk with a picture on each of its visible sides: a pair of crossed swords on the left side and two crossed flags on the right side. The courthouse itself is a white rectangular building lined with green bushes along its base, its entrance facing the left side of the photo while a clocktower sits in the center of its flat roof. The entrance to the building is shaded by a rectangular pediment supported by columns, above which sits railing. Foliage from a tree growing near the courthouse's entrance obscures the visual details of the second and third floors of the building's front. On the other side of the courthouse, the one that faces the right side of the photo, there is a row of windows set into arched frames along the first floor of the building while rows of rectangular windows span the second and third floors. The clocktower on top of the courthouse is made of a darker material than the rest of the building and has white numbers and hands on its dark clockfaces. A small dome with a sphere atop it occupies the top of the clocktower.
