Ellis County Courthouse

This stunner of a courthouse (1895) uses every Romanesque trick in the book to awe you. The pink granite and red limestone are magnificent and a recent restoration has only added sheen to the splendor. On weekdays you can wander the compact interior and look into the wood-trimmed courtroom.
