Description

Photograph of Gaines County Courthouse in Seminole, TX. A yellow car drives past the camera on a wide paved road, passing by a wide building made of white and blue blocks. The vehicle drives on near the camera past a median with a post on it containing signs saying "JCT" and "62" along with "JCT" and "180". A yellow sign and a stop sign stand at the end of the medium at the center of the photo. On the other side of the median the car drives past, farther into the photo, the building sits in a green lawn populated by bushes and a few trees. The building itself has an entrance that faces the left side of the photo and is made up by a white rectangular overhang whose walls border two doors above which are three rows of short rectangular windows. The sections of the courthouse on either side of the entryway rise to a lower height and have only two rows of windows above the ground level row. A short staircase leads from a walkway up to the doors. The section of the courthouse the doors are attached to is set back into the building a short distance with four rectangular columns supporting the roof. Along the front side of the building are rows of windows, one ground level row and three more above it, with each being divided horizontally white a row of white stone. Between the rows of white stone and between each window are blue stone blocks. On the side of the building that faces the right side of the camera is a block of windows with two roof levels. This section, along with the rest of the building, has flat white roofs.
