Description

Photograph of Grimes County Courthouse in Anderson, TX. The courthouse sits in front of an empty parking lot with a yellow curb at its center, which has a sign on it reading "Keep right " with an arrow. The courthouse sits on an elevated platform with a grassy lawn enclosed by concrete walls, with three short sets of stairs leading from the parking lot to the top of the platform. The building itself is comprised of two rectangular sections, one narrower and positioned in front of the other though both have roofs that slope upwards into triangular points. Two chimneys rise from either side of the courthouse's shingled roof while a pointed tower rises from the roof's center, its white walls occupied by three tall windows. Along the brick walls of the courthouse are two rows of tall windows in white frames while columns of stone bricks lines the corners of both rectangular sections of the building. The from entrance of the courthouse has two white doors bordered on either side by a column of stone bricks which rise up to the second floor of the building, where another set of white doors are shaded by a flat white overhang. The white rectangular supports of the overhang extend down through a white platform at the bottom of the second-floor doors and down to the ground in front of the first-floor doors. The second-floor doors are accessed by white stairs that extend from either side of the doors' platform, turn ninety-degrees towards the camera, and then extend downwards until they meet the ground. White railing lines either side of each set of stars. Green bushes sit between each set of stairs and the front doors, as well as line the base of the building's left and right sides. Power lines crisscross in front of the courthouse and run across the sky to its left, touching down briefly on a telephone pole sitting in the left corner of the lawn.
