The 1895 building is a Texas Renaissance Revival four story red colored granite  structure, with a center section that extends from the main building. The entrance has a four double column portico with balcony above.  A narrow square tower rises in the center with clock and black dome at the top. On the east and west are green colored domed towers. An addition was completed on the west end in 1956, but it was demolished in recent years to allow the courthouse to stand alone on courthouse square. Renovation of the building was completed in 1983
