Description
I photographed the Washington County Courthouse in Brenham, Texas, during the twilight hour, a few minutes before sunrise. Since this area is located roughly an hour away from my home in NW Houston, I decided to "kill two birds with one stone" by photographing the town's architecture before heading out on to the fields to photograph the diverse Texas wildflowers in the Spring. Thanks for looking. FAA watermark WILL NOT show up on final printed image.
WASHINGTON COUNTY COURTHOUSE
Built in 1940 with funds granted by the Public Works Administration. This is the fourth courthouse to serve Washington County since its formation in 1835. Constructed during the tenure of County Judge Sam Low, the massive white limestone courthouse was designed in the art moderne style. Details of that style include the light fixtures and cast aluminum eagles at the entries. The building stands as a symbol of Washington County government.
