"The three and one-half story courthouse has a stone foundation and cladding and an asphalt shingled complex roof. The building is set back from the street and its primary (east) elevation has nine symmetrical bays. Multi-sloped turrets cap the slightly projecting towers in the outer bays; a domed bell tower rises from the center of the roof. Non-historic sashes fill the rectangular and round-arched window openings. Large, round-arched openings fill the three center bays. Paired glazed aluminum doors with sidelights and tall, fixed transom fill the recessed opening in the center bay of the first story. A small flight of stairs leads to the entrance. A stone belt course separates the second and third stories; stepped stone parapets ornament the north and south cross gables."
