Photograph of Moore County Courthouse in Dumas, TX. A sidewalk separates a rough road from the courthouse's lawn, in which tall green trees grown in sections of lawn divided up by the sidewalk. In the ride side of the photo, on a section of sidewalk, is a tall stone rectangle with indistinguishable text on it and a small pot of flowers on its base, likely a memorial or monument. More trees and bushes occupy other sections of the lawn, surrounding the corners of the courthouse. A short set of stairs leads from the ground to the entrance to the courthouse, which faces the left edge of the photo. Three arches appear in a rectangular entryway made of white stone blocks, with a relief sculpture of a person in each top corner of the entryway's structure. A stone plinth sits in front of the rightmost arch. The remainder of the courthouse sits on a stone block base and is made of small brown bricks, with smaller sections of stone used as accents around and above windows. The building has three rows of windows anda flat roof, with bird sculptures attached to each corner of the courthouse.
