Wise County Courthouse

One more shot of this 19th century masterpiece...

 

Completed in 1896 for $110,000, the impressive granite structure was constructed from stones quarried and pre-cut near Burnet County, Texas. Each piece was numbered and shipped for assembly, raised by a windlass pulled by donkeys.
