It was designed with Beaux-Arts architecture by architect Charles E. Bearden. It is a three-story, rectangular courthouse built of cream brick. It has multiple pairs of "colossal" Tuscan order columns running up the second and third stories, alternating with triple windows. Its entablature has triglyphs and metopes. It is described in its National Register nomination as having a Beaux Arts/Renaissance Revival design: "It is not a pure design but is adapted and is Renaissance Revival more in massing and long horizontal lines rather than specific details."[2]
Its interior features oak millwork that is especially noteworthy. Its courtroom is "unusually spacious; the woodwork, the deeply recessed ceiling squares, the retention of early light fixtures blend to create a sophisticated statement."[2]
It was listed on the National Register in 1980.[1]
