Washington County courthouse
Description
Photo of a large, two-story stone building with a clock tower with a group of men standing in front of it. The building is Romanesque in style, with a t-shaped construction featuring dark brick walls and lighter brick corners and ornamentation. Windows are arched with decorative cornices of lighter stone. The front features a covered porch with a second story balcony in place of the roof. The third floor has four small clerestory windows, and the clock tower is square, with a clock face on each visible sight. Its roof is peaked and four-sided. Several chimneys jut from the edges of the roof, and the ridge line features an ornamental fence. The men in front of the building are all wearing dark suits. The building is surrounded by grass, and a paved path leads from the front. Two small pine trees bracket either side of the porch, and a small white building with a door and single paned window is visible at the rear of the building.
