Center, Texas, is a small county seat in the eastern part of the state, and its courthouse is the particular subject of this print. It belongs to a series of courthouse views gathered under the heading "Dunlop Society Court Houses," a collection assembled to document the county courthouses of the United States. Those buildings were usually the most prominent structures in their towns, often set at the center of a square where farmers, merchants and lawyers gathered on court days. The caption card gives no date, and the record itself is unverified, so the exact year of the photograph is uncertain.
