Moorish attorney's office

This hand-carved door is beautiful in its own right, but looking at it through the wrought iron adds to its charm.
An attorney’s office is immediately adjacent to Ness County Bank Building. Even though the architectural styles differ, they complement each other.

sunburst detail
Here is the sunburst in greater detail.
libra scales
The bottom of the door features panels showing six of the 12 zodiac signs. The libra panel is very appropriate for an attorney’s office.
entrance fountain
This tile fountain was on the west side of the entrance. Unfortunately, it was not running at the time of our visit. It must sound very refreshing in the scorching dry heat of a High Plains summer.
courtyard
A narrow courtyard separates the attorney from the bank building. It looked so inviting, but we didn’t enter.
another courtyard view
Here is a slightly different view. I’d love to have an oasis like this next to my office, wouldn’t you?
