It is a three-story building with a low center dome. It has a concrete-block ground story and two red brick stories. Inside, it had a three-story rotunda but that was reduced in the 1960s.[2] It was designed by architect Baldwin Mehner of Dorchester, Wisconsin, who soon after designed the Taylor County Courthouse (1913, which was NRHP-listed in 1980).[3] The two courthouses have only minor differences.[2]
