Texas Courthouses
Here is an interesting link to an online archive with photos of every courthouse in Texas.
Notice when you look at the Washington County Courthouse that it was taken in 1981. Not a good year! Hopefully, we can get the photographer back here for a better picture to show the beautiful landscaping that now exists. The Chamber has already sent him an invitation!
