The walk starts out on the boardwalk along Lake Granbury. |

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. |

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.
