13 Architectural Details
On day 2 of our road trip, we went through Weatherford, Texas. The Parker County Courthouse was built in 1886 and restored not too long ago to it's original state. The Seth Thomas clock was installed in 1897. It is in the center of the traffic circle and it is a beautiful building with lots of interesting details. Did not have time to stop on this trip but hope to on the next trip through.

Very interesting building - looks quite Victorian. I love all the detail on the towers and roof.

Wasn't Parker "The Hanging Judge" just thought I'd clear that up.

Tons of cool detail. What a period piece, nice that it is in good shape. Seems like there are so many county court houses all over the U.S. from that era that need expensive and extensive restoration
