The Curious Case of the Ellis County Courthouse | Atlas Obscura x Visit Waxahachie

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. Were the faces carved by a spurned lover, or simply a quirk of architecture? We might never know.
