Granbury Volksmarching Event
|
Granbury is the Hood County Seat. It is 35 miles southwest of Fort Worth. This is not the official walk route. |
The walk starts out on the boardwalk along Lake Granbury. | |
We leave the lake behind and head down Bridge Street. | |
Hitching post in front of the Nutt House. | |
This one is so drab. It needs a more colorful paint scheme. | |
We are now on the courthouse square. This is the 1891 French Second Empire courthouse. | |
Across the street from the courthouse is the Nutt House Hotel. | |
All the buildings around the courthouse square are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. | |
These are good examples of Victorian commercial buildings. | |
Back on the courthouse side in a gazebo built in 1948. | |
Switching sides again. | |
On the corner of the block is the First National Bank with lovely bas-relief window ornamentation. | |
Heading away from the courthouse we come to the old railroad depot. | |
Back in a residential area. This one could use more colorful paint also. | |
Nice tower room. | |
This is another hotel. | |
Iron Horse Inn. | |
We've circle around and now approach the courthouse square from the other side. This is a former bank building. | |
Closeup of the courthouse entrance with a historical marker. | |
