A short set of stairs leads up to the building's doors from the lawn. A row of windows runs along each side of the building's first floor. On top of the overhang sit many white columns that extend from the bottom of the second floor to the top of the third floor to hold up a large white triangular pediment. Two rows of windows, one each for the second and third floors, span the width of each of the courthouse's sides, all spaced apart by more white columns which support white rectangular pediments. A second triangular pediment is visible in the center of the left side of the courthouse, which faces the left edge of the photo. The gold dome on the roof of the building has tall windows across its base and the sculpture of a human figure at the top of its dome.

Photograph of Austin County Courthouse in Sealy, TX. Leading up to the courthouse is an intersection, with one road extending from the bottom edge of the photo to a stop sign positioned between two other signs saying "No left turn" and Holland". Below the signs, two white lines painted onto the road extend across it to denote a walkway. Next to this walkway, near the left edge of the photo, is a sign with an arrow saying to "Keep right" while a yellow tilted square dotted with red circles sits below it. Farther into the intersection, one car begins to enter the photo from the left side while another car exits towards the right side, passing a pedestrian standing near the curb. The curb borders farthest end of the intersection and separates the road from the grass surrounding the courthouse's entrance. A stop sign stands in the center of the grass in front of a brick planter containing shrubs. The courthouse building sits beyond the planter and consists of two sections: a black rectangular section that is wide and short, and a white section that is taller but less wide, resembling a cube in shape. The cubic section sits on top of the rectangular one and hangs off the front side on rectangular metal columns, providing shade for the doors into the courthouse. On the cubic section, near its top edge, are the words "Austin County Courthouse". The doors into the courthouse are made of glass and are surrounded by rectangular windows set into white frames.

Near the bottom left corner of the photo sits a small stone slab with a laurel wreath inscribed near its top along with "Major Joseph O. Sayers" written underneath.

The courthouse itself is a white rectangular building lined with green bushes along its base, its entrance facing the left side of the photo while a clocktower sits in the center of its flat roof. The entrance to the building is shaded by a rectangular pediment supported by columns, above which sits railing. Foliage from a tree growing near the courthouse's entrance obscures the visual details of the second and third floors of the building's front. On the other side of the courthouse, the one that faces the right side of the photo, there is a row of windows set into arched frames along the first floor of the building while rows of rectangular windows span the second and third floors. The clocktower on top of the courthouse is made of a darker material than the rest of the building and has white numbers and hands on its dark clockfaces. A small dome with a sphere atop it occupies the top of the clocktower.

A fire hydrant emerges from the bottom edge of the photo, sitting in front of a road that a white car drive onto from the left side of the photo, its image in the photo blurring as it moves. Across the road, a sidewalk sits between the pavement and the courthouse's lawn, turning into a corner near the right side of the photo as two sides of the courthouse meet near the center of the image. Positioned close to the corner of the sidewalk is a statue with "Peter Hansborough Bell" written on the base it stands on, its figure standing casually and looking to the left. Various signs stand it different places on the sidewalk including one standing in the left side of the photo that says "Mc Gregor 31" with and upwards arrow, "Moody 20" with an upwards arrow, and "Temple 8" with a right-pointing arrow. The courthouse building itself is made up by white blocks and stones constructed into a square structure with roofed towers at each corner and, in the center of each side, triangular pediments supported by circular columns, which each sit upon rectangular overhangs supported by brick columns. The brick columns all have archways built between them. On the side of the courthouse facing the right edge of the photo is a railed ramp that leads from the ground to an entrance shadowed by a brick overhang.

A short set of stairs lead up to the dark front door of the courthouse, which is a square building with off-white walls and a roof covered in dark shingles. Three rows of windows span the width of each side of the courthouse. The portions of the building containing the center two columns of windows on each of the building's sides project out from the rest of the structure a short distance, and are topped by A-frame roofs that similarly project outwards from the rest of the upward-sloping roof. Behind the right corner of the courthouse is a flat-topped tower made of off-white bricks.

Green trees grow throughout the lawn, their foliage partially obscuring the courthouse. The building is square in its general shape and is made of pale red bricks. A short set of stairs leads up to the front doors, which face towards the right side of the photo. Three rows of windows set into white frames span the width of all the building's sides.

A similar structure is partially visible on the left side of the building, which face the left edge of the photo. Above the pediments and running along the roof's edge is a decorated wall, its bricks decorated with white stone. Multiple tall, thin metal structures of varying shapes sit on top of the courthouse's flat roof, one of which resembles an empty flagpole.

A sidewalk sits parallel to the road at the lawn's edge, with a walkway breaking off to lead up to the front entrance of the courthouse. A person dressed in a bright, light orange dress walks along the path towards the stairs leading up to the courthouse's front doors. Foliage from an off-camera tree appears at the left edge of the photo in the foreground while another tree grows to the left of the courthouse's stairs. The courthouse building is rectangular in shape and is made of large white bricks, with the section the stairs connect to offset inwards compared to the rest of the building.
