The Courthouse is a Beaux Arts style building that designed by Fremont D. Orff. It was completed on donated land in 1911 at a cost of $37,070. Each of the four corner pavilions of the brick structure has its own small drum and dome. The main entrance of the courthouse (facing Highway 32) is topped by a classic pediment and entablature. Originally, there was a large central dome that was removed in the 1940s leaving the square balustered platform.
The only other major change since the Building's construction was the removal of the attached jail.
