- Photograph of Dallas County - Old Courthouse in Dallas, TX. A paved road runs across the foreground of the image, in front of a wide sidewalk that separates the road from a plot of red and grey dirt.

The building is a tall, wide structure made of dark red bricks and dark shingles on the roof. The courthouse has a central section that projects outwards from the rest of the building, its top coming to a triangular point, and circular towers at each of the building's corners, each with a pointe top.

The bottom floor of the building is darkly colored like the roof, with three archways in the central section leading to the courthouse's entrance. Above this first level, in the central section, are four rows of windows with the topmost row consisting of narrower windows centered within the section's triangular top. The towers each have one window followed by a gap and then a row of window, with a final row of windows sitting just below the edge of the towers' cone-shaped tops. The narrow walls between the towers and central section both have two rows of windows that align with the windows of the towers.

- [Dallas County Courthouse in Dallas, TX]
- Photograph of Dallas County Courthouse in Dallas, TX. The white courthouse faces towards the right edge of the photo and is mostly rectangular in structure. The main part of the building is tall and lacks windows, and has a tall rectangular tower attached to its right end. Attache to the front of this section of the building is a slightly shorter structure that projects outwards from the rest of the building a short distance. The projecting structure is rectangular in shape and has seven rows of gaps that resemble a window with shutters thrown outwards to let light in. Below this structure, at ground level, is an open space that allows access to the front doors of the courthouse, which are set into the main structure of the building. Dark letters spell out "Dallas County Courthouse" on the bottom of the projecting structure, above the doors to the courthouse. Potted trees and bushes decorate the space near the doors and around the outside of the courthouse. A person stands near the left corner of the building. Brown dirt occupies the majority of the ground in front of the courthouse, enclosed by a sidewalk that runs from the left side of the photo to the bottom right corner. On the other side of the sidewalk, in the bottom left corner of the image, is a paved road.
