This is the latest entry into my blog. We are in the end of our semester here at Palo Alto College. This short essay is the most recent field assignment we are required to write. I will tell you guys about a building here in San Antonio that has a unique look. The Bexar County Courthouse has a majestic old world style to it. This essay was supposed to be on art in San Antonio. However we had the option instead to write this essay on buildings in San Antonio. I chose the courthouse not because it has a modern artsy look. I chose the courthouse because it reminded me of an old English castle. The building is made of red sand stone that has a very nice red tint. The architect J Reily Gordon designed this courthouse in the Romanesque revival style of the old world. Hence the reason why the courthouse looks like a castle. The high walls of the courthouse along with the huge tower and high arches above the entryway add to the castle feel. This is a beautiful classic structure that definitely stands out here in San Antonio. It adds an old world flair that complements the newer buildings around it. Classic lines, grand old world design, all of these things help make this building not only functional but also very beautiful to look at. This is art in every since of the word.
