It is a two-story courthouse building on a raised basement, about 98 by 68 feet (30 m × 21 m) in plan, with entrances on north and south facades.
Its National Register nomination describes it as "a tour de force of classically inspired ornamentation rendered in creamcolored terra cotta and contrasting tan-grey brick. A variety of rich classical detail, immense columns, pronounced cornice, and rusticated basement are hallmarks of the Beaux Arts Style exhibited on the building. In particular, the terra cotta detail is a visual delight. Acroteria and rosettes march along the top of the projecting cornice, with consoles in an acanthus pattern and an egg-and-dart course below. Shields, della
Robbia wreaths, swags, and geometric patterns further adorn the facade."[2]
