Description

Photograph of Lipscomb County Courthouse in Lipscomb, TX. The courthouse is surrounded by yellow grass as it faces the right edge of the photo. An off-camera tree's branches fill the top right corner of the photo while another tree grows to the left of a short set of stairs leading up to the courthouse's doors. Two rectangular blocks made up of red bricks sits on either side of the stairs, a material again only in bottommost level of the building which contains windows that sit just above the lawn. The doors of the courthouse meanwhile are set into white frames as are the windows around them, together forming a shape that curves into a half-circle at the top. Four white columns, two on either side of the doors, extend across two floors of the courthouse to support a white pediment attached at the roof's edge. On the white block between the columns and pediment is "19 Lipscomb Covnty 16" in dark letters. Two rows of tall windows, some with air conditioning units, span the width of both this side of the courthouse and the side facing the left edge of the photo, all set into walls made of yellow bricks. A few feet from the front edge of the courthouse the building rises up a few more feet to accommodate a row of short windows that sit above the lower roof of the building. A chimney rises from the higher roof.
