A multi-story, light-colored stone courthouse with a stepped, Art Deco massing rises behind a lawn with a curving walk and beds of red and yellow flowers, framed by large shade trees.

Linen-era view cards like this one were typically sold at local drug stores and newsstands as souvenirs of the city.
Linen-textured stock with a thin white border; slight wear at the corners.
