Photograph of Childress County Courthouse in Childress, TX. The courthouse is made of a pale-yellow stone, darkening at the top of each section of the building. The entrance of the courthouse consists of the lowest rectangular section of the structure and four thick columns, supporting the top section of wall above the entrance. On this section "Childress County Courthouse 1881-1838" is written on the wall. On either side of this portion of the building are taller rectangular sections with two rows of tall narrow windows spanning them. Behind these sections and the first one is a fourth one, rising into the sky with two rows of windows. In front of the courthouse is a set of grey stairs and trees with brown foliage or none at all. A streetlight sits next to a walkway that runs along the edge of the courthouse's yellow lawn, next to which is a parking lot occupied by a truck and a car. The parking lot is made up by paved ground that gives way to red brick in the photo's foreground.
