Our last trip home took us through Lockhart where I managed to take some pictures of the wonderful Caldwell County Courthouse. We also saw beautiful courthouses in Bastrop and Giddings, but, as usual, my camera was in the trailer and I was in the van.

This is a picture of the top of the courthouse. This style of this courthouse is Second Empire, from the time of Napoleon III of France. The style has a mansard roof.

I applied a soft filter to the above picture to take the cars out of the picture.

Texas has some wonderful courthouses. If you are interested, the Texas Historical Commission has a list of the historic courthouses in Texas. You may find a list of Texas historical courthouses sorted by style on Texas Courthouse.com website.
