Located in Mountain View, Arkansas, the Stone County Courthouse was constructed in 1922. Architect C. A. Ferrell designed the building which was contracted by C. M. Laird.
The two-and-one-half-storey structure features an inset center bay flanked by projecting wings. The irregular roofline is composed of hip components and is supported by exposed rafter ends.
Constructed of native stone. the building is symmetrically balanced. With the exception of the facade, windows in the building are double-hung, six-over-one. The windows on the second storey of the recessed center bay are narrow with square six-lite transoms. All windows feature stone lugsills.
The facade is marked by the inset center bay, which itself is comprised of six "sub-bays." The double entry is covered by a one-storey portico with hip roof and dentiled cornice, the portico roof supported by two square stone posts. A gabled dormer with a wide overhang extends from the roof in the middle of the central recessed bay. Three small windows with four lites each span the width of the dormer. Stone chimneys rise from the inner slopes of the roofs on the projecting wings.
The east and west elevations are marked by two-storey projections each of which contain a double door at the first storey level and paired windows at the second storey.
The rear (north) elevation also contains an inset center bay flanked by projecting wings. In the center of the inset bay is a one-storey hip roof projection.
