Photograph of Hood County Courthouse in Granbury, TX. A paved street wraps around the corner of the courthouse that faces the camera, with multiple vehicles sitting in front of the courthouse. A curb in the right side of the photo has a sign sitting on it reading "One way" with an arrow pointing left. A truck sits beyond the sign and faces he curb. The courthouse itself sit on a green lawn occupied by trees and bushes and has walls made of off-white stone bricks. The building is cubic in its general shape, with the corners and centers of each wall projecting out from the rest of the building slightly. The projecting sections each have triangles in the brown edges of their roofs, on each side of their sections. The roofs of the central projecting sections slope up to an edge while the corner sections slope up to points. The walls of the courthouse have three rows of windows across them except for the central sections, which have tall windows across the second and third floors and a row of small windows near the edges of the roof. On the central section on the right side of the building, a door occupies the first-floor level of the wall. Centered on the roof of the courthouse is a tall white tower with three sections. The bottom section has two windows in orange frames on each side while the middle section has one shuttered orange window on each side. On each side of the top section are white clockfaces with black numbers and hands. On the top of the tower is a short, thin metal structure enclosed by a short fence.
