The 1931 Menard County Courthouse sits at the south end of a long, narrow square in Menard. The building's 1-story front entry section steps back to meet a 4-story central mass, flanked on each side by 2-story wings resting on a raised basement. The clay tile walls are sheathed in multiple shades of brick, arranged randomly, and decorated with cast stone detailing. Although the building's plan and organization are relatively traditional, its stepped massing and simple, stylized detailing identify it with the modernistic mode of design commonly referred to as Art Deco.
