Built in 1884, this historic structure is a three-and-one-half-story, rectangular, masonry building, with a raised basement. Designed in the Romanesque Revival style, it was enlarged in 1896, with the addition of a third story and reconstruction of the roof to include a number of eclectic design elements. This building measures approximately 100 by 140 feet (30 by 43 m) and features a five-story clock tower. The roof of the structure is covered with Conosera tile produced by Ludowici.[3] A courthouse wing was built in 1964.
The monument to John Mitchell (1870–1919) was erected in 1924. It consists of a granite monolith with a niche, enclosing a bronze statue of Mitchell.[4]
