Last week’s contest was won by Poster Child. It was the house in Graham, WA where Josh Powell killed himself and his two sons.
This week’s location is a random place somewhere on earth, good luck!

Somewhere in the south, because only Confederates ride bronze horses in courthouse squares. And yes, that’s a courthouse, not a bank, because banks don’t have public squares with equestrian statues in front of them. The presence of the statue probably means this town was a significant Civil War location. So you’re looking for a southern courthouse located at the corner of an intersection with an equestrian statue in front of it in a town with a Civil War history.
Roger Rabbit spews:
The red brick house next to the courthouse also is a clue. It’s a historic house, possibly a museum, as it appears there’s a sign on the front lawn of the type seen in front of historic houses that have been turned into museums. I’d start with such places as Harper’s Ferry, Chancellorville, Fredericksburg, etc. There may even be mini-ball holes in the courthouse facade.

This preacher thinks the “courthouse” is a church. But that it’s still a courthouse or capitol square.

It’s Lee Park.
And the building in background left seems to be a church, given the steeple.
Geoduck spews:
According to Google Earth, it’s the local Methodist church. The brick building doesn’t rate a label, but it’s probably part of the church complex.

A day late and a dollar short….
My first guess was that it was a church. I grew up seeing lots of those neo-classical columns at the entryways to churches. A number of Southern Baptist churches all seemed to have the same architect.
