Marfa, Texas
Marfa is a dusty West Texas town with several claims to fame:
The Presidio County Courthouse stands at the head of the downtown commercial district (rather than in the middle). |
This photo of the 1886 courthouse was taken looking northeast. |
This close-up shows the blue dome. |
The colors and style of the nearby jail complement those of the courthouse. |
Downtown Marfa once had two movie theatres. |
Neither showed movies as of March 2003. |
The Hotel Paisano is a National Historic Landmark. |
This is the First Christian Church. |
In March 2003, only the sign remained for the Stardust Motel on US 90. |
The Marfa National Bank has unusual ornamentation for an adobe style building. |
