From a nearby Historical Marker is the following text:
"One of the fine colonial public buildings designed by James Barnet, the Cooma Courthouse, to the right of the post office, was built in 1887. It is considered to be a good example of the Victorian Mannerist style with a facade dominated by a Palladian entrance way, it was deigned to remind the citizenry of the authority of the law. Similar to many early Cooma buildings it is constructed of ashlar granite gneiss. The building has played a significant part in Cooma's administrative and social history and still operates as a courthouse today."
