c. 1893
Three-story masonry Romanesque public building with sandstone foundation, sandstone wall treatment, and rectangular footprint. It has eight bays, five in the front and three on the side, and a shingled, steeply hipped roof with cross gables over the entrances. The four centered entrances are hooded by single Italianate arches with Italianate pilasters. The north and south sides of the courthouse have two additional hooded Italianate arches with Italianate pilasters, one on either side of the entrances. In 1984 the windows were replaced with black ionized aluminum windows that run the height of the three stories. On all sides the windows above the arches span the height of the second and third stories. The original tower, constructed of copper and impermanent materials, was removed in 1969 as it was considered structurally unsound. All outside sandstone is original and in good condition.
