The Ellis County Courthouse in Waxahachie, Texas is one of the best examples of the Romanesque Revival architecture styles in the American Southwest. It also contains a mysterious secret. Marvel at the semi-circular arches, turrets, of curved glass, and working clocktower, but don’t forget to gaze at the faces carved into the facade.
