Description

Photograph of Dallas County Courthouse in Dallas, TX. The white courthouse faces towards the right edge of the photo and is mostly rectangular in structure. The main part of the building is tall and lacks windows, and has a tall rectangular tower attached to its right end. Attache to the front of this section of the building is a slightly shorter structure that projects outwards from the rest of the building a short distance. The projecting structure is rectangular in shape and has seven rows of gaps that resemble a window with shutters thrown outwards to let light in. Below this structure, at ground level, is an open space that allows access to the front doors of the courthouse, which are set into the main structure of the building. Dark letters spell out "Dallas County Courthouse" on the bottom of the projecting structure, above the doors to the courthouse. Potted trees and bushes decorate the space near the doors and around the outside of the courthouse. A person stands near the left corner of the building. Brown dirt occupies the majority of the ground in front of the courthouse, enclosed by a sidewalk that runs from the left side of the photo to the bottom right corner. On the other side of the sidewalk, in the bottom left corner of the image, is a paved road.
