Photograph of Coryell County Courthouse in Gatesville, TX. The courthouse is made of white stone decorated with faded red accents and has windows with brown frames. One entrance to the building faces towards the right edge of the photo and had a short set of stairs that lead up to three white arches, their tops outlined in red. The arches stick out from the building, as does the pediment attached to the edge of the building's roof, supported by tall red columns and containing a red star motif inside its pediment. The columns' height spans two levels of the building. The expanse of wall behind and on either side of the columns and the arched entrance below them is juts out from the building, as does the side of the building facing the left edge of the photo. This creates the appearance of towers at each corner of the courthouse, each one topped with a red dome and a white carved shape. The bottom row of windows spanning the perimeter of the courthouse have curved tops with red curving lines above them, except for rectangular windows in-between the corner towers. The second row of windows are all rectangular with horizontal lines of red above them. The top and final row of windows mirrors the mix of curved and rectangular windows of the bottom row. On the roof of the courthouse is a circular clocktower with multiple clocks above red lattice windows divided by white columns. The clocktower has a dark brown dome atop it, with a smaller red dome on short white columns sitting on it. On the ground around the courthouse are tall leafless trees, short green bushes, and a yellow lawn.
