Description

Photograph of Denton County Courthouse in Denton, TX. A road occupies the bottom edge of the image and includes a series of parking spaces occupied by three vehicles, all facing the yellow lawn of the courthouse. Multiple leafless trees occupy the lawn, as does a streetlight near the parked vehicles, while green bushes line the base of the courthouse's walls. The main part of the building is cubic in shape with walls made of orange bricks constructed to form three floors. On each side of the building are three rows of windows, all set into white frames, along with entryways consisting of short sets of stairs and brick archways held up by four red columns. Above each side's archway is a short wall set at the level of the second floor, each with four red columns sitting atop the walls and holding up a similar structure set at the level of the third floor. The columns at the third-floor level hold up large triangular pediments. At each corner of the courthouse is a tower which, similarly to the entryways on the sides, have red columns at each floor which hold up the floor above them. The towers have open-air balconies at each floor. The third-floor level of the towers are each topped by short brick walls with a singular row of small windows, which each hold up a sloping, darkly shingled dome. The narrow walls between the towers and the entryways on each side of the building have a single row of windows set into white frames. On top of the shingled roof of the courthouse's main section is a large clocktower with a brick base, which includes an open-air portion containing railing and columns. On top of the clocktower's base, at each corner, is a small, shingled dome. In the center of the base between all the small domes is a smaller brick base, on which is a row of small windows as well as the clockfaces of the tower. Atop this smaller base a single, larger dome similarly shingle and topped by a white, upward sloping sculpture ending in a thin needle.
