Description

Photograph of Refucio County Courthouse in Refucio, TX. A paved street runs in front of the courthouse, which faces towards the right side of the photo. The courthouse building sits on a green lawn bordered by a sidewalk and a curb, with a few tall trees spaced apart from each other planted next to the sidewalk. Part of the sidewalk leads up through the lawn to the stairs of the courthouse, which lead up to its front doors. An overhang supported by rectangular columns shades the entrance to the building and has "Refucio County Courthouse" written above its front edge. The portion of the building at the level of the stairs to the entrance is made up red bricks bordered above and below by lines of white stone, while the rest of the courthouse is made of orange bricks. Additional liens of white stone line the top fo the entrance's overhang and the top edge of the building's flat roof. A row of small windows runs across the red brick lower portion of the building while two rows of tall windows occupy the orange brick part of the courthouse, though there is a row of three windows in the leftmost section of the building. In the center of the roof's edge is an intricate carving of a filigree-enclosed circle made of the same white stone lining the roof.
