These photographs depict, from a distance, the old and new Harris County Texas courthouses. The old one, a classically styled courthouse, was built in 1910. The new one much more recently, having been started in 2003.
The new courthouse is a seventeen story structure. Locals in the law seem quite proud of it, but I don't know what I think. It retains some classic elements but it's sort of big and overgrown.
