"In 1972 Washington County purchased the present county ourthouse for $115,000 from the federal government, which had used it as a federal post office and court building. Built in 1933, the brick and granite structure was designed by architect James E. Wetmore. The facade of the building was divided into two distinct zones, a lower level of smooth faced stone, the upper level of brick. This division was enhanced by unique window treatment and proportion. Other elements of design included the smooth ashlars quoins, the tiled roof, and the single dormer on the roof." Source
