Johnson
County Courthouse Tower
"The ornate
geometric patterns that decorate the tower are repeated in the interior.
I understand that these are Prairie-style elements which was popular
in the early 20th Century. Numerous examples of this architectural
influence can be seen in nearby Fort
Worth. A good example is the Texas and Pacific Railroad building."
