Beyond the roads is the courthouse, which sits on a green lawn enclosed by a curb occupied by streetlights at regular intervals. Multiple large, fluffy trees and bushes grows around the base of the courthouse. The visible sections of the building include two areas rectangular in shape and placed in an intersecting "X" shape, with large triangular pediments supported by tall columns placed between each arm of the "X". One end of an arm of the "X" portion of the building faces the camera and has, placed before it, a short white platform with stairs on either side. Across the walls of the building are two rows of tall windows. The columned pediments rise up to the height of the flat roofs of the "X" section of the courthouse, where a chimney can be seen.
