[Fort Worth's U.S. Court House at night]

Photograph of the U.S. Court House in Fort Worth at 501 W. 10th Street. The building is at least five stories, all of which have windows. The lights are on in the bottom floor windows and the fifth-from-the-right window on the top floor. It is nighttime in the photo, so the streetlights are shining near the building. There is a formal-style garden with geometric border walls for the plants in front of the building. Box shrubs and short flowers grow in rectangles, while some grass grows within the confines of a triangular section of concrete. Short trees line the front edge of this landscaping.

[Inside the U.S. Post Office Central]

Photograph of the interior of the U.S. Post Office Central at 251 W. Lancaster in Fort Worth, Texas. The ceiling is ornately carved and decorated with a repeating circular motif inside of many squares. The walls are made of stone tile at the top and polished, solid stone at the bottom. Dark baseboards line the walls. Double doors sit on automatic hinges underneath an arch that boasts a clock in its center. A few sections of the wall jut out and are made to look like columns. These are made out of a dark granite. An actual column of the same material stands to the left of the photo. A pendant light hangs from the center of the ceiling. The photo was taken as a long exposure, so there are phantom visitors who are see-through and blurry.

[Hotel Texas in Fort Worth, at night]

Photograph of Hotel Texas located at 815 Main Street in Fort Worth. The tall hotel building is covered in an 11 by 18 grid of windows, some lit, some not.

Below the hotel, a courtyard sits with lots of plants and concrete pathways. The photo is taken from on top of a building's roof, and the roof can be seen in the bottom of the photo. There are various buildings in the background, and the sky is dark.
