This image of Courthouse Butte was taken from the side of Bell Rock. As I approached Bell Rock - It is shaped like a bell - I could here a flute. Eventually I noticed a man on a ledge, high up on Bell Rock who was playing a flute. It was a large wooden flute, typical of this area, and he was playing a haunting, melodious melody. During my week stay in Sedona, I often heard and/or saw this type of instrument being played. Beautiful sound.
I arrived at the spot from which I took this photo and I just laird on the rock. Temperatures were mild, no wind, lots of sunshine and the only sound was that of the flute. A magical moment.
This attractive structure in downtown Amherst, Virginia, served as the Amherst County Courthouse from 1872 until the 1990s, when a newer building was completed. I haven't been able to find much additional information about this building, so I'm not sure if it is still used for local or county government purposes. Information from the Courthouses of Virginia website.

The Wayne County Courthouse in Wayne, Nebraska, is a Richardsonian Romanesque-style historic courthouse that was built in 1899. It is a 70-by-80-foot building located in the center of a 4-acre square amidst, somewhat unexpectedly, a residential neighborhood. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Its cornerstone indicates that it was designed by Minneapolis architects Orff & Guilbert, but it seems to have been wholly designed by Fremont D. Orff (1856–1914) alone, and it was built by Omaha contractors Rowles & Moore.

The Polk County Courthouse in Osceola, Nebraska, is a Beaux Arts-style building designed by architect William F. Gernandt. It was built in 1921-22 and is located on the Courthouse Square in Osceola. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
It is a two-story courthouse building on a raised basement, about 98 by 68 feet in plan, with entrances on north and south facades. Its National Register nomination describes it as "a tour de force of classically inspired ornamentation rendered in creamcolored terra cotta and contrasting tan-grey brick. A variety of rich classical detail, immense columns, pronounced cornice, and rusticated basement are hallmarks of the Beaux Arts Style exhibited on the building. In particular, the terra cotta detail is a visual delight. Acroteria and rosettes march along the top of the projecting cornice, with consoles in an acanthus pattern and an egg-and-dart course below. Shields, della Robbia wreaths, swags, and geometric patterns further adorn the facade."
The Guadalupe County courthouse in Santa Rosa, New Mexico was built in 1909. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Day 339 of my 366 Project
Courthouse Falls is a relatively short and easy/moderate hike off Summey Cove Trail in the Pisgah National Forest near Asheville, North Carolina. This is a great hike, that my neighbor and friend, Reid did on Friday, 4/17. It was just one of many that we visited that day
Coweta County Courthouse in downtown Newnan, Georgia. Coweta County is proud to display the 1904 Neoclassical Revival architecture of our historic courthouse. The structure reflects the Italian influence of architect Andrea Palladro in its central crossing plan and English architect Christopher Wrenn in its symmetrical classicism. Traditionally, cornices and pediments of stone were used, but stamped and formed copper were used, as well.
The most interesting feature is the dome, reminiscent of the famed Gibbs Radcliff Library. Rising more than 100 feet above the court square, it features clocks on all four sides. The dome is covered with copper to match the cornice, pediment and railings.
The architect was James Golucke, the son of a German immigrant who settled in Georgia. The courtroom is used by the Probate Court during the week.
Built in 1908 in the Beaux Arts style, the Brown County Courthouse faces east and is a three story buff colored brick and stone structure.

The building was designed by architect Charles E Bell who also designed many courthouses in the United States and also the State Capitols of Montana and South Dakota.
Lockhart, TX
Caldwell County is a county located in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2010 census, the population was 38,066. Its county seat is Lockhart. The county was founded in 1848 and was named after Mathew Caldwell, a ranger captain who fought in the Battle of Plum Creek against the Comanches and against Santa Anna's armies during the Texas Revolution. Caldwell was also a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Caldwell County is part of the Greater Austin metropolitan area.
The current Caldwell County Courthouse was built in 1893-1894. There is debate as to whether the design was by San Antonio architect Alfred Giles or Henri E. M. Guindon, who worked for Giles but not during the time the plans were sold to Caldwell County. The design is Second Empire-style architecture. The cornerstone was laid on August 15, 1893 and the county commissioners received the building on March 19, 1894. The walls are built of rusticated masonry and cream colored limestone and trimmed with red sandstone specified to be from Muldoon, Texas. In 1969 the building received air conditioning and had an elevator installed. Major restoration in 2000 brought the courthouse back to its historic appearance. The courthouse was rededicated in April 2000.

Stairway of the old Crawford County Courthouse in Knoxville, Georgia.
Even though Knoxville is the country seat of Crawford County, it is unincorporated and only has a population of 65.
Knoxville is the birthplace of John Stith Pemberton, the inventor of Coca Cola.
Marfa is a quirky small town in southwestern Texas. While waiting out the solar eclipse, I stayed in a hippy style campground where Yurts, Safari style tents, and old relic RV's dotted this self-made resort (El Cosmico).
The courthouse was a surprise feature of the town. Also, the famous Marfa Lights put this community on the maps with UFO enthusiasts.
The beautiful Greenspond Courthouse, in the community of Greenspond, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland. Built between 1899-1901.
Greenspond Courthouse is a wooden two-storey courthouse built in the Second Empire Style. Designed by architect William Henry Churchill, the courthouse sits atop a hill overlooking Greenspond Harbour and Bonavista Bay.
Greenspond Courthouse has been designated a Registered Heritage Structure by the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador for its aesthetic and historic value.
Greenspond Courthouse has aesthetic value as it is a good example of an early 20th century government building in the Second Empire Style – a style that was popular for government buildings in Newfoundland during this time. The mansard roof, dormer windows and tower are particularly good indicators of the style. Greenspond Courthouse is a sturdy wooden building utilizing traditional materials and stands as a testament to the quality of both materials and craftsmanship during this time period. The layout of the interior of the courthouse is also well preserved including the courtroom and the living area on the upper floor.
Greenspond Courthouse also has aesthetic value for its association with architect William Henry Churchill. Churchill was Superintendent of Public Buildings in the early 1900s and was known for using the Second Empire style in many of his designs.
Greenspond Courthouse has further aesthetic value due to its environmental setting. Its location on a hill overlooking Greenspond Harbour reinforces the importance of the courthouse in the community. The Greenspond Courthouse is a landmark in the community, being highly visible from both land and sea.
Greenspond Courthouse has historic value due to its connection to judicial activities both in the community of Greenspond and in the greater Bonavista North area. The cornerstone was laid in 1899 and construction continued for two years. The Courthouse served as the centre of all judicial activities in the area during the early part of the 20th century. Today Greenspond Courthouse is one of a few remaining early 20th century courthouses in the province. It has served a number of functions during its history, including its use as a courthouse and as a home for the jailer and his family. Furthermore, Greenspond Courthouse also served as a morgue when there were shipwrecks.
