"This brick building, the County Courthouse, has two stories, a stucco finish, and a narrow cornice band with dentils on the street elevations. Pairs of first- and second-story metal-sashed casement windows share projecting frames and are separated by decorative panels. The entrance takes up the left third of the front elevation. Two smooth vertical bands flank the doorway and rise through the cornice. Between the columns are a clock and the words "Court House Amador County" in raised letters. The two doors and windows above have original metal sash. Intervening sash is anodized aluminum. A short stairway with a rounded case fronts the entrance. The rear of the building has a rounded corner and two bands of windows. The building's present design combines two earlier structures, the courthouse and hall of records. It reflects an unusually thorough renovation from 1940. Some window sash has been replaced since then, but otherwise the building appears unaltered. The building contributes to the historic character of the district." (
