This 1911 print shows a courthouse in Houston, Texas, filed in the Dunlop Society Court Houses series, a group of photographs of county seats and their public buildings. The catalog data comes from an old caption card that has not been independently verified, so the building's exact identity and details should be checked against other sources. In 1911 Houston was a fast-growing port and railroad city, and its civic buildings reflected the confidence of that expansion. Courthouses of this era were often built in classical or Beaux-Arts styles, with monumental stone façades meant to signal the permanence of local government.
