Description

Photograph of Hunt County Courthouse in Greenville, TX. A parking lot occupies the photo's foreground with multiple vehicles sitting in the marked spots as one car drives through the lot from the right edge of the image. A sidewalk separates the lot from the yellow lawn of the courthouse, which is occupied by tall green trees and small bushes which line the base of the building. The courthouse faces towards the left edge of the photo and is made up by rectangular sections of varying heights, with the main part of the building having two shorter sections at its front on either side of the courthouse's entrance. Each of the shorter sections has two rows of windows, one just above the ground. The main section of the courthouse has two rows of large windows along its upper half and a row of tall columns across its center, where the front entrance is. The columns span the height of the section and sit at the top of a short set of stairs leading down to the courthouse's sidewalk. The center of the main part of the building has a small rectangular section above the building's entrance, which has one row of windows. On the roof of the main part of the building is a short rectangular section with one row of windows, on which is another, much thinner section without windows. Each section of the courthouse's structure has a flat roof and is made primarily of stone blocks, though the main section has walls made of bricks.
