Designed in the Neoclassical Revival style, the building is the county's first courthouse. A domed clock tower rises above the structure. The dome is "rather Eastern in feeling". Windows of the dome were enclosed in renovations before 1980. The footprint of the building is unusual: it has octagonal pavilions at each corner of a rectangular design.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1][2]
