Built: 1945 – 1846
Style: Classical Revival
Architect: Winfield Sherwood
Contractor: Unknown
Description: The building faces west and is a two story red colored brick and concrete structure. The west front has a central arched entrance on the first story. A wide horizontal cornice runs below the second story windows. Above the entrance is a square brick clock tower with clock and steep roof at the top. In 1878 the judges’ quarters were added, giving the building its distinctive clock tower. Seven years later, in 1885, the small clerk’s building was replaced by a larger one that was added to the front of the judge’s quarters, to some criticism of its effect on the building as a whole.
