Description

Photograph of Titus County Courthouse in Mt. Pleasant, TX. Four cars sit in a parking lot placed in front of the entrance to the courthouse, which faces towards the right side of the photo. A short set of stairs leads from a sidewalk set between the parking lot and the courthouse to the building's front doors. At the left corner of the courthouse is a flagpole with two flags flying from it, one being the American flag and the other a white flag with a red and blue rounded star on it. To the right of the flagpole is a horizontal stone slab with circular designs and writing on it. The courthouse's entrance consists of glass doors in blue frames, which are recessed into the building somewhat and surrounded by a blue, geometric arch that layers inward towards the doors. The section of the building the entrance is attached to is a squat cube made of silver metal with very few, small windows across its body and pale thin lines spaced at regular intervals across the building's width. A second section sits atop the first, much shorter in height as well as smaller in length and width, and is made of gray metal with numerous thin lines across its height. A concrete slab is centered on both visible side of the second section, with the front-facing slab gray in color and possessing a plain clockface while the slab on the left side of the building is yellow. A third and final section of the building sits on the second and similarly has smaller proportions, though this section lacks decoration. Atop the third section is a tall, thin metal structure with the outline of a star on it.
