A tall white obelisk monument stands on a lawn beside a one-story brick courthouse with arched openings, both shaded by large old trees. The printed caption names it the Hanover Court House in Hanover, Virginia. The brick courthouse is a well-known colonial-era Virginia building, long noted as the scene of the Parson's Cause case argued by Patrick Henry in 1763, and the obelisk before it is a memorial on the courthouse grounds.
