"The Garfield Bounty Courthouse is a typical two story brick Victorian building on a broken coursework rusticated stone foundation. It is rectangular in plan with the long axis in an east west direction. The south, or front elevation, is divided into approximate thirds by two projecting towers; one octagonal and the other square. Off center between these is the major entrance which also projects and barely over- laps the square tower. Centered on the east facade is a one story semicircular bay. The octagonal tower is engaged for slightly more than half its diameter with one double hung window on the front at each floor and three semicircular arched windows on adjacent facets of the tower above. Below these windows is a substantial ogee sill on top of a band of disc-shaped ornaments framed at the bottom by a narrow string course connecting the main roof overhang where it is broken by the tower. The octagonal spire roof is flared at the over- hang and topped by an ironwork finial." (visit link)
