Harris County Courthouse Metal Print

Built in 1910, the Harris County Courthouse has witnessed the city of Houston swallow it with skyscrapers. The courthouse was designed by the Allen Brothers when the city was first plotted in 1837. The first courthouse was too small, so they brought it down in order to build a grand structure featuring corinthian columns on all four sides and a monumental staircase. The interior also features a large rotunda and circular staircase.
In 1941, they removed the drinking troughs for horses from the San Jacinto Street side of the building. Then in 1954, the courthouse underwent extensive modernization attempts; the grand staircase on the Fannin Street side was demolished and they added more usable square footage by eliminating the atrium from the design.
As the needs of the county government grew, they build courthouse annexes and moved courtrooms to other buildings.
In 2000, the county decided to completely renovate the building and restore some of its original grand features...

By David Morefield I started photography for a couple of reason, the main reason was for the pure enjoyment of creating something beautiful. In my past, I have seen some of the greatest horrors known to man, so finding other images to place into my head has been therapeutic. I call it "Image Replacement Therapy." Over time, I had some people ask about buying prints, so I started posting prints for sale and this is how Fluffyshotme Photography was born. I prefer to go out and capture whatever strikes me in the moment and if others like it, then great. My photography is more for me to appreciate, but if others can get enjoyment out of my work, then that brings me a sense of fulfillment. I am interested in travelling the world....
