Palace Theater in Anson

It was another beautiful fall day, a little cool but not too bad, with a gorgeous blue sky.

I took a ride to Anson~~I've been there before, but I needed to get out of the house and there's a stunning City Hall right in the middle of Main Street that seemed to be calling my name today.

This theater is kitty-corner from the City Hall.  I don't know if it's used for anything any more, I always seem to go to Anson on a Sunday afternoon. Almost everything is closed so there's no telling if it gets used for anything. The theater must have been glorious in its day.

Jones County Courthouse

This courthouse is located in Anson, Texas in Jones County.  Anson was once called Jones City, but the name was later changed to Anson.  In front of the main entrance to the building is a sculpture of Anson Jones, who was the  last president of the Republic of Texas.  

The structure is made of brick and red sandstone and Lady Liberty is atop the clock dome. 

I'm grateful for:
