Description

Photograph of Lampasas County Courthouse in Lampasas, TX. The courthouse sits at a corner next to two intersecting roads with parking spots lining the parts of the roads in front of the building's sidewalk. The only vehicle in the photo is a brown car sits parked on the right side of the intersection, facing the courthouse. At the corner of the sidewalk that encloses the courthouse is a streetlight and a telephone box. The small lawn surrounding the courthouse contains small bushes along the building's base and a few thin trees planted in front of the right side of the courthouse. The building is made of white stone bricks and has a white roof lined in red. Two rows of tall windows run across the width of the courthouse's walls. The windows on each row are grouped into pairs except for the ones on either side of the entrance to the courthouse, as they are in groups of three. The entrance is in the center of the left side of the building, set into a part of the building that projects outward a short distance from the wall. The front doors have two pilasters on either side of them and face a walkway that leads out to the courthouse's sidewalk. On the right side of the building, centered in the wall, is another outward projecting section of the wall that lacks an entrance. Above each third of the walls of the courthouse is a triangular shape in the roof's red edge. The roof itself is white and has two layers where the bottom one covers the corners of the building whereas the upper layers one covers the central sections of each wall. A clocktower sits in the center of the roof next to a small white chimney. The tower is entirely white and has two shuttered windows on each side of its walls above which, set into the sides of the sloping dome, are the clockfaces of the tower. The top of the clocktower is flat with no ornamentation.
