- Marker Text
The Piute County Courthouse is constructed of red-burnt brick, made on the site by the builders, Young, Alien and Morrill. The brick walls are set on granite slabs hauled from nearby Kingston. The structure rises two full stories with small false towers in three corners and a major tower on the southeast. The architectural style is Edwardian with arched windows and archways on both floor levels. The exterior of the structure is unaltered.
The interior has undergone some modifications, due to a fire in 1943 and the recent remodeling of the jail cell into a lounge area for employees in the south west corner of the first floor. The stairs were widened when replaced.
However, the major offices on the main floor remain with only slight changes. The second floor has seven offices used for county and town government. The courtroom remains, with its judge's stand and jury box as it was constructed.
The wood trim on the interior was hand turned on the site also. The structure demonstrates a remarkable pioneer commitment and high quality craftsmanship.
