[Rockwall County Courthouse in Rockwall, TX]
Photograph of Rockwall County Courthouse in Rockwall, TX. A paved parking lot sits in front of the courthouse with multiple cars and trucks occupying it, slightly obscuring the small lawn surrounding the building. The courthouse is constructed by off-white bricks and has a short set of stairs leading up to the windowed doors of the building. Across the walls of the courthouse are two rows of tall windows spaced a handful of feet apart from one another. In the center of the flat top of the building is another, short section with a single row of windows across its sides. This part of the courthouse is also made up by off-white bricks and has a flat roof. Two tall, thin metal structures rise from the top of the courthouse along as thin powerlines crisscross the sky around them.
