"Entrances on the east and west are located in shallow pavilions which rise above the cornice level. Flights of outside steps lead to double leaf doorways with sidelights and transoms which are recessed behind semi-circular arched stone voussoirs supported by polished red granite columnettes. Above the entrances are decorative bands with intalgio carvings of COURT HOUSE incised on them. The area between the voussoirs and decorative bands is intricately carved. The building is entered at the stair landing .level between the ground and first floors. Rounded corner pilasters on the outside edges of the pavilions decrease in size as they reach upward. At the second floor level the pavilion faces are entirely occupied by triple sash windows headed by arched voussoirs. Each sash has a transom, the center square and the sides quarter-round. At the attic level four sash with square transoms are surmounted by intricately carved tympanums." ~ NRHP Nomination form
