Photograph of Cherokee County Courthouse in Rusk, TX. The courthouse has pale greying walls made up by many small off-white stones, interrupted at regular intervals by columns of two tall windows set into concrete. A short set of stairs lead up to the entrance of the building which has two doors bordered by tall windows on their sides and above them. The entrance slightly faces towards the left side of the photo. The entrance has a small roof that's a dark green or blue and slopes slightly up to a decorative raindrop-shaped object. A cylindrical lantern sits on a short pole on the right side of the doors, on top of a short cube, matching the building's material. Short green bushes line the base of the courthouse's walls while trees grow in front of its entrance and at its tight corner. The central portion of the courthouse rise higher than the sections on either side of it, behind which different sections of rectangular stone structures rise from the roof. A walkway leads away from the courthouse to a curb lined with parking meters, which borders a parking lot occupied by five cars of varying styles.
