Texas Historic Site Atlas

The French Second Empire courthouse is composed of a five part plan: a projecting entrance pavilion, two mansard-roofed end pavilions, and two recesses on each facade of the building. A three-story clock tower rises from the center of the roof with the first and top story treated as convex Mansard roofs.

Attached pilasters and quoins embellish the corners of the projecting pavilions in addition to boldly framing the arched entrances.
