Description

Photograph of Bell County Courthouse in Belton, TX. A fire hydrant emerges from the bottom edge of the photo, sitting in front of a road that a white car drive onto from the left side of the photo, its image in the photo blurring as it moves. Across the road, a sidewalk sits between the pavement and the courthouse's lawn, turning into a corner near the right side of the photo as two sides of the courthouse meet near the center of the image. Positioned close to the corner of the sidewalk is a statue with "Peter Hansborough Bell" written on the base it stands on, its figure standing casually and looking to the left. Various signs stand it different places on the sidewalk including one standing in the left side of the photo that says "Mc Gregor 31" with and upwards arrow, "Moody 20" with an upwards arrow, and "Temple 8" with a right-pointing arrow. The courthouse building itself is made up by white blocks and stones constructed into a square structure with roofed towers at each corner and, in the center of each side, triangular pediments supported by circular columns, which each sit upon rectangular overhangs supported by brick columns. The brick columns all have archways built between them. On the side of the courthouse facing the right edge of the photo is a railed ramp that leads from the ground to an entrance shadowed by a brick overhang.
