Description

Photograph of Cooke County Courthouse in Gainesville, TX. The courthouse is mostly rectangular in shape with a section of the building projecting outwards from the rest, on the side facing the camera. The building is made of white stone and pale orange bricks, with the bottom two floors built entirely from stone bricks while the upper two floors consist of bricks accented and decorated with stone. Each of the four floors of the courthouse have a row of windows across their widths. On the left side of the building, which faces the left edge of the photo, two white columns rise across the top two floors of the building to support a rectangular pediment that projects outwards slightly from the rest of the wall. The top of the courthouse is flat with a short brick wall lining the roof's edge, beyond which a clocktower sits, centered on the building's roof. The clocktower has white walls with shuttered windows, above which are the clockfaces of the tower, topped by a light blue dome. Outside of the courthouse building, near its left corner, are a tall stone slab with a motif on it, a street sign saying "Commerce St", a faded mailbox, and a white sign with "Cooke County United Fund" written on it. Multiple trees and bushes line the base of the courthouse's walls.
