Description

Photograph of Old Walker County Courthouse in Huntsville, TX. A yellow car sits in the bottom right corner of the photo in front of a sidewalk that runs along the edge of the courthouse's lawn. A sign sits in front of the edge of the courthouse, in the left side of the image, with indistinguishable writing and the image of a person in a military uniform and helmet standing in front of the American flag. A pathway runs, in the right side of the photo, from the sidewalk up to a short set of stairs, which in turn lead to a shorter path set before a second small set of stairs which lead up to the front doors of the courthouse. The courthouse itself is made of red bricks and rises three floors high, a sloping roof covered in dark shingles sitting atop the structure. Each floor of the building has a row of windows with curved tops spanning the building's width, each set into white frames. At the edge of the roof, white triangular pediments sit atop the ends and central section of the building, each with its own small, upward-sloping roof.
