Description

Photograph of Grayson County Courthouse in Sherman, TX. A yellow lawn sits in front of the courthouse building, occupied by trees of varying heights and foliage. Towards the right edge of the photo are two small bushes planted on either side of a small stone slab with an indistinguishable motif and writing on its surface. The entrance to the courthouse is near the left side of the image, where a short set of stairs lead up from a concrete walkway to the front doors. The building is made entirely of white stone blocks except for the doors and windowsills, which are all blue-green in color. The courthouse has four rows of windows, with the bottommost row consisting of small windows set just above the ground. All of the windows are divided vertically by clusters of engraved lines. Above the top row of windows, carved into the stone of the building, are the words "Grayson County Courthouse". Thin lines of carved patterns decorate the edges of the courthouse's flat roof.
