Description

Photograph of Dallam County Courthouse in Dalhart, TX. The courthouse is made of red bricks of varying colors and white stone that accents windows, floor sections, and the roof. A short set of stairs leads up to the entrance of the courthouse, which faces the camera and has windows placed low to the ground on either side of them. Two white doors with large windows in them and white curing stone above them sit at the top of the stairs. There's a window with a single white stone above it on either side if the doors, as well as four windows in a row above them. Four columns rise in front of both rows of windows to support a pediment with the "Dallam" and "1992" and "Covnty" carved into white stone rectangles set into the bricks. A white stone overhang runs above the pediment and along the rest of the building, dividing the bottom two rows of windows from a third row. On either side of the section of the courthouse with the columns and pediment are additional walls set slightly farther back, each with the same number of window rows. Another set of walls are set behind those walls, adding to the layered appearance of the building. The roofline of the courthouse is geometrically jagged and symmetrical. A crest carved from white stone, possibly with the letter "D" in it, is placed in the center of the building right under the roof's edge. In front of the courthouse a wide sidewalk and a yellow lawn, next to which is a brown car in the photo's left side and a blue flatbed truck in the photo's right side, with the text "Agricultural Ammonia" and the number 66 on its side. The vehicles are parallel parked on a grey brick street.
