Another pleasant surprise on this ‘Brownwood’ tour of Midwest Texas Courthouses.  Nice entrance in the front (the back is the emblem of simplistic) with a wonderful frieze over the doric columns.   Inside – the courthouse is very classy.  Nice ironworks, marble and stairwells.  The courtroom was a winner.  It has a balcony, delightful ceiling, and wonderful columns and color.  The witness stand is open and sitting directly next to the jury box.  Boy, these jurors can see directly into the witness’s eyes!
