Through the Red Curtain

Lockhart, TX — Caldwell County Courthouse. I found this frame within a frame and had to take it. The red curtains — probably from a vendor tent on the square — parted just right, turning a 130-year-old courthouse into something almost theatrical. The Caldwell County Courthouse was completed in 1894, designed by James Riely Gordon, the same architect responsible for several of Texas's most iconic county seats. That Lone Star embedded in the clock tower isn't decorative afterthought — Gordon worked it into the design intentionally, a quiet insistence that even civic architecture should declare where it stands. Lockhart may be famous for its BBQ, but this square has been the center of county life since before anyone was arguing over who smokes the best brisket.
