[Wilbarger County Courthouse in Vernon, TX]

Photograph of Wilbarger County Courthouse in Vernon, TX. A green lawn fills the photo's foreground, planted with bushes that contain pink flowers. Beyond the grass is a gravel area with a bench facing a short water fountain, wooden walls containing the fallen water while sitting on a brick base. Tall unlit lamps with teardrop-shaped tops sit in the grass and behind the fountain. In the area beyond the fountain is a wall of green foliage tall enough to almost entirely block the courthouse from view. What is visible of the buildings includes walls made up by stone bricks and multiple green A-frame roofs. Additional foliage extends from off-camera tree silhouetted against the cloudy sky, filling the top corners of the photo.
