Burned area just outside of Bastrop. Just a piece of the 34,000 acres that have burned in the last week.
Columbus courthouse, 1891.
Architect: Eugene T. Heiner
Gorgeous, but closed for remodeling - mental note to self: must come back and see the stained-glass dome inside! Nice little town.
Wharton veteran's memorial with an actually-burning (not all of them are, I swear this one is) eternal flame.

Hometown of Dan Rather. The clocks were all right too - that's unusual!
Nice town square, nice town.

Definitely one of the ugliest ones.

Angleton courthouse, 1897.

Probably remodeled on the exterior because no other late-1800's courthouses look like this.
We've NEVER seen 3 courthouses in one town! And all 3 are still in use: the oldest is the county museum, the other 2 are still courthouses.
Interior of the Richmond courthouse, 1909. We didn't get in (it's Sunday), this was taken through the glass in the door.
