"Red portage stone building finished March 5, 1895. Final cost of project was $125,000. Originally has a Seth Thomas clock in the tower, but the top of the tower including the clock has since been removed. The rough stone look, as well as the recessed windows and arched windows indicative of Richardsonian design. The inside of the Courthouse maintains the historic feel of the property with marble stairs and stamped metal work and other such details indicative of the late nineteenth century." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
