Ambling along to Armstrong County

Bank building
I thought that Amarillo was the seat of Armstrong County, but I was wrong. It’s actually the seat of Potter County and is near the geographic center of the Texas Panhandle. Its name may come from the yellow wildflowers that are plentiful in the area since amarillo is yellow in Spanish. Someday we’ll actually visit that county courthouse and I’ll write about Potter County – but not today. Here’s a nice picture of a bank we passed; I think the architecture is Classical Revival but it may be Federal.
