Architecture

The courthouse is a composite of classical designs, but its dominant theme reflects the Italian Renaissance style as interpreted by the architect, W.R. Norton, who was probably following the revival trend started by the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago, Illinois. It is a symmetrical building with pilasters rising to an ornate frieze and cornice. Classical details are also found above the main story windows and were along the roof-line, especially at the corners. [2]

The building exterior is constructed of locally quarried stone. Brick is used for interior bearing walls, and the floors and roof are framed and sheathed in wood. The classical details, including the frieze, cornice, and window details are of pressed metal. [2]
