Mark,
This video streams through youtube. The speed of this video is determined by YouTube. YouTube periodically experiences high utilization which can cause loading problems in certain regions.

On the lower right hand side of the movie is a “settings” tab that looks like a gear. If you select a different quality setting it will should help.

Thank you,

This is an interesting video, however Hightower is far from the only author and historian on Texas Courthouse Architecture. I studied under Willard Robinson who did a tremendous amount of research and historical documentation on them. He also wrote several books on the subject and was a fascinating man to listen to in a lecture. Again even Robinson is not the only one, so I suggest if you have an interest beyond Hightower, that you check out the sources on the following website. http://www.texascourthousetrail.com/resources.htm

Thanks for the interesting article and especially the video. For those of you having difficulty watching the video I suggest you go direct to YouTube and search the subject there..

Thanks again,
