I love old courthouses and the Colorado County Courthouse in Columbus, Texas is a beauty. The best way to experience it is to get off the interstate at US90 and take it into town. You will come to a fantastic old bridge across the Colorado River and then, as you come around the bend - there's the courthouse.

The courthouse sits on a square surrounded by downtown Columbus. The fountain looks a bit out of place and the two additions really need to go - but, all in all, a very nice building. The bench in the County Court has some amazing woodwork, too.
